Thanks Paul. I couldn't get that link you sent to work, but I was able to
download the pdf (123K) from:

http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/nature/journal/v419/n6907/f
ull/419567a_fs.html&content_filetype=pdf

for those who might be interested. The article is really about the Ascape
implementation of Dean & Gumerman's work in NE Arizona rather than about our
(similar) work in SW Colorado using Swarm, but will still be of interest for
those using ABM to study historical processes.

best, TIm Kohler

P.S. For those interested in new research on "Village" we have just put up
some pages at:

http://www.wsu.edu/~village/

that will be expanded (and improved) soon.
