-Note: This user guide for the public trunk of Enzo development. For a particular release, please the [http://lca.ucsd.edu/software/enzo/v1.0.1/ Enzo v1.0.1 docs], or the [wiki:Enzo1.5 Enzo v1.5 docs]. For how to solve specific problems, read the [wiki:Tutorials Tutorials].

+== Introduction ==
+
+This document provides a brief description of the compilation and operation of Enzo, a structured [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_mesh_refinement Adaptive Mesh Refinement] (SAMR, or more loosely AMR) code which is primarily intended for use in astrophysics and cosmology. The User's Guide is intended to explain how to compile and run Enzo, the initial conditions generation code and the various analysis tools bundled with Enzo. The instructions on actually running the code are not comprehensive in that they are not machine or platform-specific. Arguably the most useful and important piece of this guide is the [wiki:UserGuide/EnzoParameters parameter list], which contains descriptions of all of the roughly 300 possible input parameters (as of February 2004). For more detailed information on the Enzo algorithms and on running Enzo on different platforms, you should refer to the [wiki:Tutorials Enzo Tutorials]. Detailed information on the algorithms used in Enzo will be available in the method paper (unreleased as of ~~February 2004~~ September 2008). In the meantime, look at the [wiki:PublicationList publication list] for more concrete Enzo information.
+
+This guide (and Enzo itself) was originally written by [wiki/UserGuide/EnzoParameters Greg Bryan]. Since the original writing of both the simulation code and the User's Guide, the maintenance of Enzo and its associated tools and documentation has been taken over by the [http://lca.ucsd.edu Laboratory for Computational Astrophysics] at [http://www.ucsd.edu The University of California, San Diego]. Your input in improving both the code and the User's Guide is appreciated. Please send email to the [http://mailman.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/enzo-users-l Enzo User's Listserv]. Thank you!
