Welcome to WoodlandCalc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WoodlandCalc is a small data capture and presentation tool developed for 

The Forestry Commission and Natural England initially commissioned Michell Computing 
to develop a bespoke data collection and presentation tool for calculating the 
potential for increasing the extent of tree cover across the north west of England. 

The data was sub-divided into sub-regions by landscape type using Natural England's 
Character Area classifications. The potential within each of these Character Areas 
was then estimated by working groups of local experts who were capable of making 
reasoned assessments of both the opportunities and constraints to woodland creation. 
Subsequently, this project was considerably extended and adopted as a national 
system. It is currently being used to compile the National Woodland Potential 
dataset for the whole of England.

The LCL currently supports linux (gtk, gtk2 and qt4), all flavours of windows,
even wince, Mac OS X (carbon, gtk, qt4), FreeBSD (gtk, gtk2).
There is experimental support for Solaris and the native pascal backend fpgui
which runs on windows, wince and linux.
