The most recent version of this file is available here.
Release notes for all versions of CERNLIBAdapter are available here.

CERNLIBAdapter is a Java adapter for parts of the CERN Program Library CERNLIB. It includes HBOOK and MINUIT.

The CERNLIBAdapter distribution is an extension to the JAIDA library and cannot be used stand-alone.

In future we may distribute a version for stand-alone usage. This would allow Java programmers to use those parts of CERNLIB included in the Adapter.

JAS3 - Java Analysis Studio includes a copy of JAIDA and the CERNLIBAdapter.
