I have a landscape fragmentation simulator I wrote back in the mid 90's. In 2000 a grad student asked for the data to compare a new fragmentation metric against. I was able to rebuild not only my code, but also the entire C.A.S.E. tool from source as well. The last time I rebuilt that code was maybe 2008. For various reasons I may have a need to go back and rebuilt that code for a new project, and at this point the code would be at least 25 years old now.
Since I am already past the deadline for this years submission I wanted to know if you will be running this again in the future. If so I will make notes on my progress, and generally follow your replication and reporting guidelines. As a note, I released the original code as open-source (I forget which license I released it under), but a year after the paper was published the C.A.S.E. tool I used changed its licenses and was no longer freely distributed for research and academic use. This made it essentially useless as a teaching aid. That said, before I graduated I purchased a professional license for the C.A.S.E tool, and still have the entire source code with the valid commercial license. I have been able to get it to compile with much newer versions of the compilers, etc., but that was a decade since, and the code is roughly 25 years old now.
Anyway, let me know if you are interested, and when I finish my other obligations I will take a look at popping this old project off the to-do stack.
