	There are two user interfaces for ASCEND. The older, more mature user interface (and the only one offered in the 'stable' 2000 release) is the [[TcltkScreenshots\|Tcl/Tk GUI]], for which [[TcltkScreenshots\|screenshots]] are not shown here. This page shows the newer Python/PyGTK GUI that has been under development more recently by [[User:Jpye\|John Pye]] For instructions on getting it running, see the [[PythonWrapper]] page.

Support for setting the solution tolerance needs to be added, as well as possibly alternative methods for specifying the integration timesteps. Timesteps aren't currently 'units aware', either.
