D. Phil. Thesis:

  • An edited collection of some of the C++ source code used to produce the results shown in the thesis is also available for downloading. I wrote the software for my own use, to be compiled using the SUN CC compiler, and run under Solaris 2.5; changes will be required for other configurations. Click here to download a tar archive file containing the source code, together with brief instructions. Save the archive in an empty directory on your machine, then type tar xf software.tar, and examine the README file.
