A couple things to watch out for:

  1) Make sure the Agent schedules are created with the `relativeTime' option.

  2) Schedule events within the agent starting from timestep 1, not 0. 
     (This is a bug in Swarm I'll fix as soon as I get a chance.)

Here's the updated code that demonstrates activating agents on the fly:

If you want to run it, update your javaswarm.dll and swarm.jar to:

  ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/2.0.1-fixes/javaswarm.dll.gz
                                              swarm.jar.gz

These were built using today's snapshot:

  ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/testing/swarm-1999-11-20.tar.gz
