			TADAM DLL's 

These are 32-bit dll and associated files for MS Windows, implementing
the basic calculations of the TADAM-df (Douglas-fir), TADAM-p (lodgepole
pine), and TADAM-s (white spruce) growth models. They share the same
"engine" code with the PalmOS TADAM versions. 

Gyula Gulyas has written an Excel add-in package incorporating these
dlls.  They may also be called from C or other programs. 

The functions and arguments are documented in the Tadam.h file. The
Tadam.def definition file may be needed for some applications. 

	WARNING:  The TIPSY white spruce data base used to develop
	this model contained only 30 TASS simulations, unthinned and
	thinned at 4m top height.  Other projections are essentially
	a figment of TADAM's imagination; use with extreme care!

		VERSIONS HISTORY

	TADAM-df  --  Douglas-fir
1.0	15/10/01 - First public release.
1.1	26/11/01 - Fixed division by zero when B=0 in volumes.
1.2	11/01/02 - The code in the "engine" was tidied up, and the
	parameters re-estimated to better conform to the publication.
