An Individual-Based Population Genetic Simulation Environment
An interface between R and the 'metasim' simulation engine.
Facilitates the use of the 'metasim' engine to build and
run individual based population genetics simulations. The
simulation environment is documented in: Allan
Strand. Metasim 1.0: an individual-based environment for
simulating population genetics of complex population
dynamics. Mol. Ecol. Notes, 2:373-376, 2002. (Please
contact Allan Strand with comments, bug reports, etc).
This version represents a significant alteration of
function names that hopefully increases consistency and
reduces the chances of collisions with other packages
naming conventions.  For a spatially-explicit, but slower, package
with a similar interface, see 'kernelPop'.

The current version has eliminated the backend encoded output routines.
These routines were accessed using "landscape.write.foreign".  Now only
output to GenePop files remains.
R based routines for population genetic data analysis have improved dramatically
and many can use the 'genind' format defined by the adegenet package.
There is now a new function called "landscape.make.genind" which converts
a landscape to a genind object.  Please contact the maintainer if other
output formats are needed.

code in the most recent version.
