Re: Swarm 1.1 Available

[Doug Donalson;]

This should work well for most users.  Unfortunatly
for me, I can't use the binary version.  I have to modify
schedule.m in order to run my simulations.  I use the
2-level dynamic schedules and 1.0.4 put in some code
that makes it crash.  Because of this, I have to get the
source, modify it, and then compile it.  It also means
that I have to compile blt, from whence commeth my pain.

Thanks none the less,

Doug
