The following programs were written in Visual Basic for the Windows operating system. I have written and used them under Windows XP, but have no direct knowledge of how they run under Windows Vista or Windows 7.
After downloading the appropriate ZIP file below, you will need to “unzip” the ZIP file and run the file ‘setup.exe’

RMET 5.0
RMET = R matrix from METric traits. This program performs an R matrix analysis on metric (quantitative) traits, producing estimates of Fst, genetic distance, and other relevant tests and statistics. To learn more about the R matrix, see:

MICRO 3.1
This program simulates evolutionary forces. Modules include a test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and simulation of natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow, as well as two modules that simulate two forces at the same time (natural selection and drift, and gene flow and drift).
