About the software

Condition of use

For the detailed information about the condition of use and the support, please visit the official wiki (http://nce.ads.uga.edu/wiki/doku.php). The programs are free for research, but the publication should acknowledge the use of the programs. For the non-research purposes, please contact Ignacy Misztal (ignacy@uga.edu).

Bug report and support

A bug report is welcome. Please contact one of the developers at UGA or the other institutes. Or, please post the report to Yahoo Group (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/blupf90/info). Limited support may be available at Yahoo Group because the support is volunteer-based. Github Issues is also a place for discussion (https://github.com/ABGG-UGA/blupf90-public). If you need full support for the programs, please consider visiting our team.

Citations
