And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi
I think the rules of life are:
1. If a cell is surrounded by at least 3 cells, then it is allowed to grow.
2. If a cell is surrounded by more than 3 cells, then it dies.
Look it up on the web as I'm sure there are more rules than this. Used to have this on my system, but it's long since vanished.
