This program was developed and tested under Windows XP.

ISFOLD is distributed in two forms: zipped MATLAB source files capable of running on any PC or MAC platform with MATLAB version 7 SP3 or higher installed, or a stand alone version (.exe) capable of running under the Windows platform, after correct installation of a freeware compiler provided by Mathworks (details can be found here, please follow the stand-alone procedure exactly as described at the bottom of this page).
