Get RILSIM
Installation modules for a new version of
RILSIM, the
Reduced-Impact
Logging SIMulator, are now
available in four languages as described in the “Highlights” section below.
RILSIM is free financial analysis software, designed
to promote the adoption of reduced-impact logging, and has been designed
especially for use by foresters, loggers, government officials, NGOs, and others
working to improve forest harvesting practices. To download the installation
module for the language of your choice, click the
CD-ROM image at left or the
RILSIM HOME button on the main menu above.
Highlights of the new RILSIM release:
-
The new version of RILSIM is available in English, French,
Portuguese, and Spanish.
-
The RILSIM User's Guide is available in
English, French, and Portuguese, but not yet in
Spanish.
-
By default, RILSIM Español
is installed with the English-language user's guide but users may separately
download a patch that will install either the French or Portuguese user's guide
instead.
-
The different language versions of RILSIM have been designed so that they do not
interfere with each other. Thus, if you work in more than one language you can
install two, three, or all four language versions and they will run
independently (and even simultaneously) without problems.
-
RILSIM 2.02 can read data files from any previous version of RILSIM, and each
language version can read data files written by any other language version.
Previously a translation error in RILSIM Português
prevented it from reading files from other versions, but this has been corrected
in the new version.
-
RILSIM Help has been upgraded to use HTML Help, a standard that is supported in
all versions of Microsoft® Windows® beginning with Windows 98. This upgrade was
undertaken especially to support users with
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
These newer versions of Windows are not compatible with WinHelp32, the help
system used in previous versions of RILSIM, unless a special patch has been
applied to the operating system. This is particularly important for users of
RILSIM Français because its help system has not yet been converted to
HTML Help. More details are available on the
RILSIM support page.
