Below
are a few excerpt from Mr. Maycher's review of Evolver 4.0. For

"This is
a rather unique piece of software which is very simple yet extremely useful."
"The installation
went fine and took less than one minute."
"Solver
uses a hill climbing method, which allows it to quickly find the best localised solution
to both linear and non-linear models. However, in the last five years I have yet to create
a single model that I would define as simple. Enter Evolver, an expert at finding global
solutions to complex problems. Evolver tries to find the global solution, which is quite
different from Solver, which would get stuck on a local solution, not knowing that there
is a better solution out there. Evolver is excellent at non-linear problems and uses
several different solving methods and operators to find the best solution."
"The installation,
interface and use of Evolver is very straightforward and yet allows for enough customisation
for those complex models. Another solid product by Palisade."
