This  gives a list of all known EA software packages available to the
     public. The list was originally maintained by Nici  Schraudolph.   In
     June  '93  it  was agreed that it would be incorporated into this FAQ
     and the responsibility for maintenance taken over by the FAQ  editor.

     A  copy  of  most of the packages described below are kept at ENCORE,
     (See Q15.3), available by anonymous FTP.

     Most  GENETIC  PROGRAMMING  software  is   available   by   FTP   in:
     ftp.io.com/pub/genetic-programming/    There    are    subdirectories
     containing papers related to GP, archives of  the  mailing  list,  as
     well  as  a  suite  of  programs for implementing GP.  These programs
     include the Lisp code from Koza's "Genetic Programming" [KOZA92],  as
     well  as  implementations  in  C and C++, as for example SGPC: Simple
     Genetic Programming in C by Walter Alden  Tackett  and  Aviram  Carmi
     <gpc@ipld01.hac.com>.

     A  survey paper entitled "Genetic Algorithm Programming Environments"
     was published in IEEE Computer in the June 1994  issue.   Written  by
     Filho,  Alippi  and Treleaven of University College, London, UK. It's
     available by FTP as bells.cs.ucl.ac.uk/papagena/game/docs/gasurvey.ps
     (file size: 421k).

 PLEASE NOTE
     For  many  of these software packages, specific ordering instructions
     are given in the  descriptions  below  (see  Q20.1  -  Free  Software
     packages,  Q20.2  -  Commercial  Software  Packages, Q20.3 - Research
     Projects).   Please  read  and  follow  them   before   unnecessarily
     bothering  the  listed  author  or  contact!   Also  note  that these
     programs  haven't  been  independently  tested,  so  there   are   no
     guarantees of their quality.

     A major revision was undertaken in August 1994, when all authors were
     contacted, and asked to  confirm  the  accuracy  of  the  information
     contained  here.  A  few  authors  did not respond to the request for
     information.  These are noted below by: (Unverified 8/94).  In  these
     cases,  FTP  address  were checked by the FAQ editor, to confirm that
     this information (at least) is correct. In two cases,  email  to  the
     author bounced back as "undeliverable" -- these are noted below.
