[ADMB Users] getting started stuff

[Jim Bence]

Ben also in IDE platform the videos we put together go over in detail steps
of getting some code up and running.  While every thing is using an emacs
interface the steps of what kind of code you need to write, and the need to
link, compile, and run translate setups.  Can't really cut and paste this
stuff but it might give you some ideas.  Take a look at:

http://www.admb-project.org/courses/admb-training-videos-1

This page has links to materials on an ftp server here at msu but the admb
project page is most convenient way to get to it all.

BTW I replying to the content of your email which does not seem to have much
to do with the original subject line of your message  (I changed that) and
my response has nothing to do with it.  

Jim

  In case I do get around to this: can somebody point me to "getting
started" information that already exists that I would be allowed to
parasitize?  (Dave's fix improves the specific points, but I still think
there's room for a short section that points out how you actually run models
once you have successfully installed ADMB following the platform-specific
instructions.)
