The computer simulator CRYPTOS is designed to model the changes that take place in young-growth redwood and Couglas-fir stands in the north coast region of California. CRYPTOS requires the user to enter a stand descrption and allows the user to perform various operations and print out various descriptive reports of the stand. This interactive program is written in standard FORTRAN 77 code. The current version is running on IBM PC compatible personal computers, the Apple Macintosh, and Data General mini-computers. To run the program, the user answers questions or issues two-letter commands. The list of commands available at any stage can be displayed by typing pc (for print commandx).
