Re: swarm-1.2 and Drone

[Paul Johnson]

Dear Marcus
   3 questions.
   1. If you were me, how would you go about managing the repetition of a
simulation?  Alex L says recode Swarm as in simpleExperBug. Benedikt says use a
perl script. Rick says use Drone.  The Gecko people say something else.  I wish
you would just tell me what to do!

   2. Concerning little swarmpatches like the one for Arguments.m (which I don't
pretend to understand), I'm wondering if I should be making new rpms for them?
If I use drone, I have to make this change, right?  Do you keep a directory of
patches for swarm 1.3 where I could just grab them now and then and reissue
swarm-1.3 rpms?

   3. I had a bad experience editing text lately and wonder if I solve it by
using TeX.  I wrote a paper in Applixware and used some symbols, like theta and
delta.  Applixware has a html editor and it is supposed to work, but whenever it
found a theta or delta, it just put nothing because apparently html doesn't have
math symbols???  What do scientists do if they have to prepare a document for
distribution in different formats, one of which is HTML?
