Steve:
Thanks for the reply. I will call TRAC-WSMR. I have already been
working with them on code for another model, so the task of getting
CASTFOREM code and/or manuals should not be impossible. Do you know
what language CASTFOREM is in? I have also established an account on
their computer system. When I get this code (and even if I don't), I
would still like to discuss some methodologies with you. I am currently
most interested in terrain representation, movement modelling across
that terrain, and direct and indirect fire suppression.
