HODGE-C:
--------

HODGE-C is a (`mostly ANSI') C language implemenatation of
Gerhard & Schuster's hodge-podge machine. It implements a class
of cellular automata, that resemble very closely autocatalytic
chemical reactions, like for example, the Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ)
reaction.

For an introductory article on hodge-podge see:
A.K.Dewdney's Computer Recreations column, in Scientific American,
August 1988.
