Badley’s new Java versions of Stretch and Flex Decomp (December 1998)

Badley Earth Sciences is to revamp itsstructural modeling routines Stretch and Flex DeComp by re-writing them in Java.

Structural geology software from Badley that was originally written by Prof. Nick Kusznir is to get a face lift with the advent of Java cross-platform programming. Target platforms are Windows 95/98, Windows NT and UNIX. New functionality will be added during the port; Stretch will incorporate gravity modeling and a multiple-rifting capability while Flex Decomp will allow a laterally-varying early rift to be defined, said to be "a feature of particular importance at Passive Margins". Availability of the new Java-based software is mid 1999. More from Alan Roberts alan@badleys.co.uk.
