The package contains many well-known nonlinear models, including applications in economics and finance, and is easy to use for non-specialists. New models and extensions or variations are easy to implement within the software package without the use of a compiler or other software.
E&F Chaos is developed to provide quick information about local and global dynamics and to aid formulating challenging research questions for further mathematical analysis.

A manual with a quickstart guide, 3 tutorials and a reference manual, is available both as a PDF file and in HTML for direct online viewing. The manual is written for version 1.00 but can be used without any problem with version 1.01; the only visual difference is that the `Load Model' and `Build New Model' options in the `File' menu have been swapped.
