Hi Elliot,

with the help of Google I found that:

http://www.ncgia.ucsb.edu/projects/gig/Dnload/download.htm

is the source of the package and the SLEUTHGA.zip contains both code
and a Cygwin 64 bit binary depending only from the Cygwin dll
built in 2017

$ cygcheck ./grow.exe
d:\cyg_pub\tmp\SLEUTHGA\grow.exe
   D:\cygwin64\bin\cygwin1.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNELBASE.dll^

The README point to a demo script in the Scenarios directory

$ cat Scenarios/doit
date > Andijan2_1991_55_100_0.13_900_55_50
../grow.exe evolve scenario.Andijan2_calibrate 55 100 0.13 900 55 50 >> 
Andijan2_1991_55_100_0.13_900_55_50
date >> Andijan2_1991_55_100_0.13_900_55_50

For what I can see running the script take almost 100% of one CPU but 
does not produce any error

   bash doit

(still running for the time being)

Krishnaveni,
are you running a different Scenarion ?

Marco
