None that I'm aware of, although comp.theory.{cell-automata,self-org-sys} come pretty close (the cell-automata reference is stretching it a bit though). > 2) Could someone give me the address for obtaining GENESIS?

The unfortunate namespace conflict will probably not be resolved. Good luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adrian Ho, EECS (pronounced "eeks!") Dept.
