Overview

All the software available from this download page is related to RAMSES. RAMSES is an acronym for Research Aids for Modeling and Simulation of Environmental Systems. Visit the RAMSES home page to learn more about it. All functionality provided by RAMSES is fully documented and available for web browsing from RAMSES Objects Reference (or for off-line browsing after downloading the zip archive).


From this site you can download the following software packages (freeware - copyright ETH Zurich):

  • Easy ModelWorks  -  MacOS,  Windows 
  • RAMSES  -  MacOS    New!
    Includes MacMETH, Dialog Machine, ModelWorks, ISIS, and RAMSES Auxiliary Library for Macintosh; but not RASS.
  • RAMSES Extras  -  MacOS    New!
    Some useful additions to RAMSES, like Alpha editor support (M2 mode) for Macintosh.
  • MacMETH  -  MacOS
    A fast Modula-2 language system for the Macintosh.
  • DM, MW, and AuxLib for Windows  -  Windows
    Includes Dialog Machine, ModelWorks, and RAMSES Auxiliary Library; but of course no MacMETH, and not RASS.
  • RASS  -  OS X,  Solaris    New!
    Includes Dialog Machine, ModelWorks, ISIS, RAMSES Auxiliary Library and RAMSES Science Library.


The same software is also available from our no-frills Compact Download Table. It is particularly handy if you are only updating or are looking for some extra goodies such as the Alpha Editor Support we provide.

 

Important Notice for Macintosh Users

If you are using our Macintosh software offered at this site, please note the following: We highly recommend to use whenever possible OS X version 10.4.11 (Tiger). With any newer OS X you can no longer run Classic, regardless of the processor. Many software offered here needs also Classic and we recommend then to use whenever possible as Classic version MacOS 9.2.2! Note, OS X version 10.4.11 (Tiger) is the last OS X from Apple still supporting a fully integrated Classic that can be run within OS X. Note, however, this also requires your Macintosh is not Intel based, but a Power PC Mac such as a G5. A fast G5 should serve you still very well. You can still run our software on any Mac using the latest OS X. However, this requires to emulate Classic and is no longer officially supported by Apple (see below for hints on how to accomplish this).

Note, all our software can also be run in batch mode. RASS-OSX needs no Classic and allows you to run in batch mode any of your own software based on the Dialog Machine. You only need to recompile and the resulting programs should run on all Macintosh OS X computers including Intel based systems. We offer with RASS-OSX a full featured development system that runs under the latest OS X. To this end we recommend to use AlphaX and its M2 mode. Any such developed Dialog Machine program can then be ported to Classic withouth any change and run there as well.

However, to run our software optimally and with all interactive features does require Classic. A Classic disk image ('Classic_Support.dmg.bin') is available here (hints on how to best use this disk image). It is recommended for use on Power PC Macs running OS X version 10.4.11 (Tiger). On Intel Macs you can use Classic emulators (freeware). According to our tests our software runs fine under these emulators. Depending on the Classic MacOS you wish to use, use either Basilisk II or SheepShaver. For all our MacMETH compiler based software, e.g. current RAMSES, we recommended to use Nigel Pearson's Basilisk II port for convenience and efficiency reasons. Those emulators run fine under recent Mac OS X versions, e.g. version 10.5.8 (Leopard) on Intel Core 2 Duo machines. Here you find very compact installation instructions and our hints, might also help you with Classic on Intel Macintosh. Here more good Basilisk II web sites at Wikipedia and E-Maculation.

To fully profit from the latest operating systems we also strongly urge you to upgrade to the latest versions of our software. Should you encounter problems, we recommend first to recompile all your code! To learn more on these issues visit README MacMETH and/or README RAMSES. Please, don't hesitate to contact us should you have more specific questions on compatibility issues or should you make experiences contrary to the ones described here. Thanks!

Dialog Machine, ModelWorks, and Auxiliary Library for Windows

Dialog Machine Logo         Auxiliary Library Logo         ModelWorks Logo        
 

Here you can download the Dialog Machine, ModelWorks, and the RAMSES Auxiliary Library for Windows. All public interfaces are identical to the software as released for the Macintosh platform. Consequently you can develop for example the implementation of a dynamic model on a Macintosh and port it in source code form to an IBM PC or vice versa. You have only to make sure that you build your implementation by using only the interfaces and functionality of the Dialog Machine, ModelWorks, or the RAMSES Auxiliary Library. The resulting code should then be highly portable among all three supported platforms, i.e. Macintosh, IBM PC, and Unix. (Note, on the Macintosh platform the Dialog Machine, ModelWorks, and RAMSES Auxiliary Library form part of RAMSES and are released as one big package only).
