I have no idea how the files could have been corrupted since I never 
let them into Windows (I downloaded them from ftp.swarm.org).  But, I 
downloaded a fresh copy of the tarball and then unpacked it and it 
ran.

I did have one problem:

address@hidden heatbugs]$ ./heatbugs
*** event raised for warning: ResourceAvailability
*** function: tkobjc_setColor(), file: 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/swarm-2001-01-23/src/tkobjc/internal.m, line: 
639
Problem allocating color #040000.  Switching to virtual colormap.
*** execution continuing...

This happens with other Raster based simulations and does look really 
ugly and hard to intuit what is going on in the simulations.



DS> COM.h

MG> Perhaps it wasn't included.  To avoid this, don't use VarProbe.h, but

I never used VarProbe.h, but I did use #import 
<objectbase/ProbeMap.h> and as I tracked down the ProbeMap.h file, I 
saw that it calls VarProbe.h which in turn calls #include 
"../defobj/COM.h"  There is no COM.h in /usr/include/swarm/defobj , 
but there is a COMProxy.h file there.

I cut out the /ProbeMap.h and now only have objectbase.h in the 
files.  This solved the previous problems with the COM.h include.  I 
still have some other issues, but will continue working on them.

Thanks for all the help.  I am glad to be making progress.
