Available Softwares

I come since my master's course developing programs for statistical and genetic analysis. My first quantitative genetic program was Mapgen. This program was developed in Pascal, Turbo Pascal 3.3 and 5.5 and only runs at DOS operating system, and I do not make it available any more. My programming skills, are not professionals, began with a summer course held at IME/USP in 1990.


In 1993 I became an UFLA professor and began to develop Sisvar and stability. Sisvar was released in 1996 and stability thereafter. This first version was released for DOS and was compiled using Borland Turbo Pascal 5.5. I am currently developing the Sisvar in Java using NetBeans. As I am not an expert in the area of programming/computing, learning Java has been a great challenge. Visit the pages of each program for further details.

The available programs are:

 

Details

The stability program has received little attention from me in recent years. Little or no update has been made, unfortunately.

The Sisvar program, such as stability, is implemented in Pascal using Delphi 7, both are completely free. Unlike Stability, Sisvar has been frequently updated.

Em virtude de uma série de problemas de compatibilidade com as novas versões do Windows em relação ao banco de dados que o Sisvar utiliza, resolvi desenvolver uma versão do Sisvar totalmente nova e construída do zero. Um segunda e mais importante razão foi a necessidade de modernizar alguns aspectos das análises do Sisvar. Para isso escolhi a linguagem Java, por ser multiplataforma e extremamente poderosa. Assim, está nascendo o Sisvar em Java. Visite a página do programa para mais detalhes.

Due to a several compatibility issues between new versions of Windows and Sisvar database, I decided to develop a version of Sisvar completely new and built from the very beginning. A second and more important reason was the need to modernize some aspects of Sisvar capabilities. Therefore, I chose the Java language for being multiplatform and extremely powerful. Sisvar in Java is just being born. Visit the program page for more details.

Linux compatibility

The Sisvar and stability were developed for the Windows platform. However, with the use of Wine, both programs can be installed on Linux and work perfectly, except with some fonts that are not optimized for that platform.


For obvious reasons, the Java version of Sisvar have compatibility with all platforms that run Java. Thus, the program will be compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.
