Christine. Microcomputer software for population
projections: a review of six packages. Working Papers in
Demography, No. 40, 1993. 27 pp. Australian National University,
Research School of Social Sciences: Canberra, Australia. In Eng.
"Six well-known microcomputer projection packages are reviewed.
Their strengths, weaknesses and suitability for various users are
described and the output is compared. A test run using the same simple
input demonstrated the substantial effect of different methodologies on
the results and leads to a recommendation that users should specify
input in as much detail as possible. The conclusion suggests some
priorities for software development and refinement in the
future."
