• The influential Nonlin hierarchical partial order planning system, developed by Austin Tate in the 1970s and onwards in the University of Edinburgh is now available and working again. Nonlin was originally written in Pop2, then converted to Pop-11 in the 1980s. However Nonlin stopped working several years ago because Pop-11 evolved as a language -- described here. Austin recently decided to make it run in current versions of Pop-11 and now it works in both Unix/Linux Poplog and Windows poplog -- both available from or here
• Nonlin is available in browsable form in this directory which also includes a downloadable zip file (about 750 Kbytes) containing the package and instructions.
• Nonlin now has its own home page
• Further information, including sample problem domain definitions using the nonlin task formalism (TF) can be found here and here
