[Scilab-users] New ATOMS toolbox - what now?

[Claus Futtrup]

Dear Samuel

I have adapted the original source code from Nikolaus Hansen. His source 
for Scilab 5 works perfectly fine. I have all the reason to believe that 
downloading the ZIP file and manually extracting it into a work 
directory will work just fine. This is how I have used the source from 
Nikolaus Hansen for 2-3 years now.

I have also had my friend Sébastien Salmon (author of the PSO toolbox) 
download the zip file from below link to the CMA-ES ATOMS package. He 
confirms it install manually just fine.

What I need is a package where I can write "atomsInstall(package)" and 
it will install. Unfortunately, as can be seen from the bugzilla report, 
I cannot do this. I get this error:

!--error 10000 atomsDESCRIPTIONread: The file 
'C:\Users\Claus\AppData\Local\SCILAB~1.1\.atoms\tmp_1390641250\CMA-ES\DESCRIPTION' 
is not well formated at line 25 at line 224 of function 
atomsDESCRIPTIONread called by : at line 160 of function atomsInstall 
called by : ilab54/Archives/CMA-ES.zip"

Please help me setup the ATOMS zip file, so that this error goes away 
and the package can be installed + used as intended. Send the good zip 
file to me. The rest I can take care of (run some development loops to 
make the package perfect).

Best regards,
Claus
