Thanks very much.  Once again, I'm amazed by your productivity.

As luck would have it, I had already converted your repeaters model into
a one-file objc example "pjrepeater.m" and also had added into that
model dynamic scheduling "pjrepeater2.m" and then the customized
schedule in "pjrepeater3.m".  These are in
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq/WorkingExampleCode/objc

While that new swarm is compiling, I want to make sure with you that I
have translated correctly the code for customizing the schedule, which
is in pjrepeater3.m.  Here is the way the model swarm is created: (The
java code renames objects in the create[customize]End in a way that is
not required in objc, correct?)

   groupProto=[ConcurrentGroup customizeBegin: self];
   [groupProto setDefaultOrder: Randomized];
   groupProto = [groupProto customizeEnd];

   syncScheduleProto = [Schedule customizeBegin: self];
   [syncScheduleProto setConcurrentGroupType: groupProto];
   [syncScheduleProto setAutoDrop: 1];
   syncScheduleProto = [syncScheduleProto customizeEnd];

   modelSwarm = [ModelSwarm createBegin: self];
   [modelSwarm setSynchronizationType: syncScheduleProto ];
   modelSwarm = [modelSwarm createEnd];
