Very neat.  I started playing with CA many years ago; I must have C64 disks
floating around with 1-D and 2-D CA code someplace.

I recently picked up Wolfram's new book, and started a small FOX app to run
the simple CA described in the notes to chapter 2.  (Part of the plan was
to allow the user to paste in chunks of Mathematica CA code and have the
app interpret it, but that's a bit more complex.)   As it stands now, you
just enter the decimal number of the simple radius-1 CA.

It was really a good excuse to go play with FOX, so the code is nothing
brilliant, but if anybody is intersted, let me know.  Needs serious
refactoring.
