on plague simulation

[Roy G. Schriftman]

Jim is a professor of microbiology at USP.  He needs a 
program that will simulate the spread of an infectious 
disease thru a population, with appropriate paramerter for 
age, length of illness, infection rate, death rate, etc.  We 
have been using a program from 1993 called PLAGUE written by 
John Shramko.  I have a demo version with screen shots only, 
but the full version does not work under Windows 2000.

I looked over the ecobeaker web site and checked some of their modules.  I am 
afraid we would be trying to cram

a square peg in a round hole using their software to model the spread of 
disease in a human population on a
continental, or global, scale.  At any rate we would have to do a major rewrite of our lab's focus and strategy.  

I am still hopeful we can solve the driver problem with the current software, 
but I am wondering if you are thinking

that's not going to be possible?  Do you think the current program could be 
converted, as is, to a windows platform

(in time for use this fall)?
