You can interactively compute the
experimental protocol corresponding to your combination of variables and states.
By default, the software computes the minimal number of experiments required
for a solution to be found, but this number can be increased.
A C version of the software (source files) is available for UNIX machines (SGI, SUN, IBM-PC under Linux)
and for MS-DOS/MS-Windows machines. It can be retrieved here.
