Re: [GZG] Need help, Colony population #'s

I think the point is, it's gonna all be crude, short of having the
sophisticated software I believe Beth mentioned in her posts.

However, back in 2002:

I can probably draw together some documentation on it all, which would
show
you how to write a fairly good analogy using simpler code, you could
even
do
it in excel (though a proper crack at it may involve a few worksheets,
macros and some of the extra utilities).

Just let me know.

I don't think anybody ever asked her for her pointers; might be just the
thing for her to put on the Fulton website, if she ever gets the chance.

I've been Google-ing, and peeking into some Sci-Fi writing references,
but
haven't found any fairly good suggestions on how to do the modelling of
interstellar growth. Most just deal with a single planet after
'seeding'.
If anyone else does know of such a site/book, by all means pipe up.

And, Mr Ariander's right about the formatting. I can't guarentee mine is
clean, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't come in those REALLY difficult to
read colors. I've been wrong before...
