Availability
WOMBAT is available only on a help-yourself basis, via downloading from
http://agbu.une.edu.au/
kmeyer/wombat.html
Material available comprises the compiled program (‘executable’), together with these User Notes and a suite of worked examples.
WOMBAT has been developed under and is meant for a LINUX operating system. Highly optimised executables are available for this environment that are suitable for large analyses. In addition, WINDOWS versions are provided, both to be run under CYGWIN and in a CMD window. These have been restricted to smaller analyses; see compilation notes in 3.1.2.
Conditions of use
WOMBAT is available to the scientific community free of charge. Users are required, however, to credit its use in any publications.
