    CAPOW is a program for evolving one-dimensional cellular automata (CAs)
using continuous as well as discrete states.  The program runs in a
"Blind Watchmaker" mode in which the user can spawn mutations of
desirable CA rules.  The continous CAs model the wave equation, 
the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam nonlinear string, the damped driven oscillator, etc.
	CAPOW is being developed by Rudy Rucker and students at San Jose
State University under a grant from the Electric Power Research Institute.

    The ZIP file contains the executable file, some support files, and part
of the source code for the CAPOW program:

CAPOW.EXE   The main program.  Runs in Windows 3.1 with 4 Meg of RAM.
CAPOW.HLP   The help file.
BWCC.DLL    A Borland libray needed for the dialog box buttons.
*.CA        Some individual parameter files to load with CAPOW.
*.CAS       Some experiment parameter files to load with CAPOW.
CAPOW.CPP   The main program module, fairly generic Windows code.
CA.HPP      The header file for the CA automata classes.
CA.CPP      The key source code for the program: the CA class methods.
