Re: [Swarm-Support] Replicator.pl and Run number

[Paul Johnson]

Do that with the command line arguments framework.  if the command line 
can accept a "run" argument, then you grab that value and use it.

In the tutorial package just now being prepared, there are items 
"simpleBatchBug1" 2 and 3 that show various aaspects of this idea.
If you have access to download things from swarm cvs on Savannah, you 
can get it there in the apps directory.

I would not find where I put a recent snapshot, so I just make one and 
put it here.  This one has newly added apps I like for conway's game of 
life, Schelling neigborhood, as well as the thinks in the tutorial, 
where you find the new batch bug things.

Here:

There is also a working example of passing command line arguments in the 
 code for protest:

and opinion formation:
