   Does anyone know how to reach these people to order the code?
   My e-mail to these addresses bounces.

Subject: Need info on fitting parameters to set of data

   Hi, I am trying to fit many parameters to a set of data and would be most
   interested in any information you can give me. I was told about [ga-list]
   by Hugh Cartwright in Physical Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford University,
   England (HCART@VAX.OX.AC.UK), who said that you had useful information.
   I look forward to hearing from you about genetic algorithms 

   - yours, Mark Hanning-Lee
