VisualSoar has been added to CVS. We'll do an official release once it's more cleaned up. For the moment, you can build what's in there on Windows, but the Linux stuff needs to be updated.

The docs section of the site now contains some links to Soar-related sites that may be helpful. Note that this doc is in the Docs section of this site, not in the docs directory in CVS.

Please send me any new links or corrections.

Thanks,
Bob

In an effort to make the documentation more available to a broader range of users, the "Install Info.doc" file (an MS Office format) has been converted to PDF in all modules. It has been and continues to available in HTML as well.

The other formats (MS Office, HTML) are still available for those who prefer those formats. It is actually likely that updates to the documentation will be done in the MS Office format and then converted to the other formats.... read more
