Software

To install the plan evaluator (under Unix), save the tar file (for example: use wget mdpsim-1.3.tar.gz or save from browser). Uncompress (for example: gunzip mdpsim-1.3.tar.gz). Extract everything (for example: tar xvf mdpsim-1.3.tar). Look at the file mdpsim/README for more instructions.
