Source code for MS Windows version of GAUL available.

San Diego, CA, August 27, 2003 -- The GAUL project announces the latest
release of GAUL(TM) - the Genetic Algorithm Utility Library, a leading
open-source programming library for evolutionary computation.  GAUL 0.1846
contains significant enhancements to its features and usability.  This is
the first version to officially support the MS Windows environment, in
addition to the prior supported UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems.

An already impressive set of features are further enhanced by the new
version of GAUL.  Support for the MS Windows platform bolsters a long-time
aim of the GAUL project to create a robust and portable framework for
evolutionary algorithms.

"Development of a native Windows version of GAUL is a major milestone,"
says Stewart Adcock, Lead Developer of the GAUL project.  "Programmers
requiring a feature-complete, but portable, framework for evolutionary
computation now have the open-source GAUL as a viable option."

GAUL is already applied in many important domains, including protein
structure prediction and drug discovery.  With release of this new
version, GAUL becomes available to a larger community of research
scientists and software developers.
