I'd like the same information also.  My only real source for basic information
on genetic algorithms has been the April '91 issue of Dr. Dobbs, some old
AI-EXPERT's, and a book that I'm ordering (_Genetic Algorithms in Searching,
Optinization and Machine Learning_ by Goldberg [Addison-Wesley]).  Can anyone
deliver any additional pointers?

I am working on a research contract in which we'll have to apply some genetic
algorithms.  I HATE reinventing the wheel when someone has a better algorithm.
