The most recent released version of Ptolemy Classic is Ptolemy 0.7.1 Ptolemy 0.7.2 is available to developers, but it is not as polished as I would like, so we have not done a full release of 0.7.2. I can send you information on how to download Ptolemy 0.7.2. I have not tried installing Polis, so I can't say whether it would work with 0.7.1 or 0.7.2. The Ptolemy II faq at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptIIfaq.htm says: --start-- What about compatibility with Ptolemy Classic (Ptolemy 0.7.x)? This FAQ covers Ptolemy II. The Ptolemy Classic FAQ can be found at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyclassic/ptolemy.faq Ptolemy 0.x is fairly mature software in that the design is stable and mostly unchanging. The Ptolemy II software system is under active development. # They are written in different languages (Java vs. C++) # They have different file formats. Ptolemy 0.x uses Octtools, Ptolemy II uses a system based on XML # They have different user interfaces. The Ptolemy II UI is much easier to use than the Ptolemy Classic UI. # Ptolemy Classic works best under Unix. There is a Windows port of Ptolemy Classic, but it does not work well. Ptolemy II works under both Unix and Windows. # Ptolemy Classic can generate code for various DSP primarily using SDF semantics. Ptolemy II can generate code for non-hierarchical SDF models and for hierarchical Giotto models. For more information about the current status of code generation in Ptolemy II, see http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptIIlatest/ptII/doc/codegen.htm Various people have made efforts to use a different front end with Ptolemy Classic. See the Ptolemy Website Links Page for possible solutions, including: # MLDesigner 2.1 is a commercial product that was released in January 2002 and it includes a conversion utility from Ptolemy Classic models. # The PeaCE (Ptolemy extension as Codesign Environment) might offer some ideas and does have some software available. # The 2001 Ptolemy Miniconference had the following talk: "An Approach to Executing Ptolemy Classic Models under Ptolemy II" Ned Stoffel, Dwight Richards, Neil Smyth*, and Matt Goodman, Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (* Smyth is now with Altio). The slides for this talk can be found at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/conferences/01/src/miniconf/Telcordia.pdf We are not sure if Telcordia has any software available for release. --end-- In theory, you could interface Ptolemy Classic and Ptolemy II and somehow use Polis, but this would be a fairly complex task. -Christopher Christopher Hylands [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of California Programmer/Analyst Chess/Ptolemy/GSRC US Mail: 558 Cory Hall #1770 ph: (510)643-9841 fax:(510)642-2739 Berkeley, CA 94720-1770 home: (510)526-4010, (707)665-0131 (office: 400A Cory) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
