5) General Purpose Dynamic Programming (GPDP) Files for download
| After the DP book was published in
1986, the GPDP software was converted from BASIC to Visual Basic, and many
more routines were included.
The GPDP control panel is used for selecting the
data file relevant to a DP problem, and for |
Clicking a GPDP.EXE file now opens the
following control panel. The GPDP Help Manual referred to below details how to use the control panel to solve a DP problem for which the data file has been selected. Data files are given the extension '.dat' For 'Help', press the Help
button. |
| Download GPDP installation file | Downloads an early version of GPDP.exe and three example problem data files. |
| Latest versions of GPDP.exe: GPDP102.exe GPDP102.zip 15.02.04
|
If this is a later version of the file you have installed
and you wish to update, rename the existing GPDP.exe file in your GPDP
folder, and copy the latest version to your GPDP folder. Any error messages found on reading the dat file are written to the GPDPsoln.log file in the folder containing the dat file. |
| GPDP setup 06.exe | Self-extracting file for downloading GPDP103.exe and
supporting files, and problem data files in a subfolder.
If GPDP setup 06.exe will not work, download files individually. See Readme.txt for details. |
| GPDP Help Manual GPDP_Manual_03.doc or GPDP_Manual_03.pdf |
The Manual explains how to use the GPDP routines to solve a
wide range of DP problems. Solutions are illustrated for the problem data files which can be downloaded, and which are detailed in the DP book. The ways in which data files for DP problems can be written using the GPDPdata spreadsheet workbook are outlined. |

| Workbook for generating GPDP problem
*.dat files: GPDPdata03.xls |
The workbook can be used for writing data files for DP
problems by manual entry on forms tailored to the problem type given the
problem parameters, or by editing example Visual Basic subroutines. Examples are given for many of the problems in the DP book. The "Workbook Guide" sheet explains how to use the other sheets in the Workbook. GPDPdata05.xls

| Programs for generating GPDP problem data files: ZBEEF.xls ZTUNA.xls |
These programs may be edited to write the data files for other problems. |
