- Genetic Evolution through Combination of Objects (GECO)
-
- GECO is a toolbox for constructing genetic algorithms. It provides a set
- of extensible classes and methods designed for generality. Some simple
- examples are also provided to illustrate the intended use.

-
- Bug reports, improvements, and feature requests should be sent to
- george@hsvaic.boeing.com. I will try to respond to them. Ports to other
- lisps are also welcome.
-
- GECO should be completely portable among CLtL2 compliant Common Lisps,
- though it has presently been tested only with the following lisp
- implementations:
- - MCL 2.0 (Apple's Macintosh Common Lisp)

- Version History:
- 1.0 16-Nov-92 GPW Initial public release.
