README: JelFarol

This is a Java version of the El Farol Model that runs against
Swarm-2.1.x.  There was a program "ef" we got from Rick Riolo
at U of Michigan.  My student Katie Lofton dug around trying
to make it run against Swarm without the UM Exp Tools addon
package.  We wanted to do that because the functionlality of
UM Exp Tools is now included in Swarm itself, and also because
we wanted to port the program to Java, and there is no
Java UM Exp Tools (that we knew of, at least).

I worked pretty hard on this, but I realize it is not perfect.
It was my first Java Swarm exercise, as a matter of fact.  I 
did this work in January, 2001, and figured I might come back to
it, but never found time to dig into it again.

To run it, I was using ptplot3.1.  Maybe if your ptplot is different,
you will tweak the source.

This program produces a variety of types of graphs.

There is an objective-C version of this program available as well. Look
for ElFarol-1.tar.gz at an ftp server near you.
