[kepler-dev] Modal Models document and demos released

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Josu,

An updated document may be found at
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/tmp2/EECS-2009-151a.pdf

What happened was that when we submitted the original document to
the EECS website, the EECS Website stripped out the URL field.

We are working on getting the master copy updated.  The
above URL is temporary, it will go away

Apologies about the problem, this is tricky technology.

I'll let Edward address your question . . .
