QUERY Model Merging Tools

At the 2006 meeting I attended a workshop about a software tool called
""conductor"" that simplifies the construction of large Vensim models from
sub-modules developed by different groups.

Although I have no immediate plans for using this tool, I was interested
in learning about new versions etc because a large model building
Endeavour may be on the horizon. We are sort of looking at options at
this stage.

I contacted the authors and apparently Los Almos National Laboratory
(where it was developed) can provide this tool, but there is a
complicated (at least to me) arrangement for licensing etc. with all
sorts of government regulations attached... I didn't find references to
the software on the web site.

Ahhh.... but since I know there are some SDS members who work at these
labs, perhaps they can enlighten us on the availability of this software
tool.

Is it available? Is there a cost? What is the procedure?
