Don't tease me this way.  If you go in the script and take out
the -b option, then you can run gui swarms, one after the
other.  Its just like Drone, repeatedly run a model with various
command line options, one of which is the Seed and another is
the Run.  replicator.pl can be edited to run Netscape over and
over too, if that's what you really need.

As I recall, you said originally you wanted to run the repeated
simulations because the sim at step t was learning something
from the results at t-1, and you will have to work that out by
writing findings into files and reading them back in.

If you need the gui, and you want to run things by remote
control, you should reconsider the lesson I offer here:

All of that stuff can be made to work in java, especially since
Sven has exhaustively catalogued ways of processing command line
arguments in java.
