ReadMe.txt file on Curacao, LateBlit, and  Resistan. 

All three packages have been developed by a development team at the 
Department of Plant Pathology at Cornell. I found them on the Higher 
Educational National Software Archive (HENSA) and in line with the policy 
of storing freely available Biology CAL programs on the BioNet archive, 
have taken the initiative to downloaded them myself. They are very good 
looking simulations running under Windows of problems in ecology which 
will stand against the best commercially available packages.

Curacao: A simulation of the effect of sterile insect release on 
insect numbers.

LateBlit: A simulation of the infestation of potatos by Phytophthora 
infestans.

Resistan: A simulation of the effect of fungicides on accumulation of 
resistance in fungi.

The programs are copywrite but may be freely distributed and used according 
to certain conditions. The packages must be distributed in their entirity, 
you must register with them before you use the package, and you must get 
the students to fill in a short questionnaire when the course is completed. 

The files for each have been packed into an ARC file using Pkpak(pKware 3.6), 
and this has been UUencoded to allow it to be sent using ftp procedures 
(uuencode 5.1). To get the original programs back, you should first use 
UUDECODE. This will produce the ARC file *.ARC. This must then be decompacted
using PKUNPAK. Both these programs are very widely available.
