GAMS has been developed and is maintained by a third party outside of the Australian Research Council. Based on their advice, the following represents GAMS operability, using various browser and operating system platforms.
For Intel PC based operating systems, the following browsers are recommended:
- Internet Explorer 6.0 or later; or
- Netscape 6.1 or later.
For Macintosh, Unix, and Linux based operating systems, the following browsers are recommended:
- Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 or later; or
