Accrete algorithm

Hi,

I'm working on a software, in which I want to generate random systems. I know there are a few systems generation programs floating around, but I want to write my own so I can tweak it as I see fit. Almost all (if not all) of these are based on some version or permutation of the Accrete algorithm, but I cannot find it anywhere on the web.

Does anyone have access to some copy of the Accrete algorithm, or a point me to somewhere I can get it?

Thanks.

Haven't checked them out, but there seem to be versions in several programming languages here

in this forum , there was a thread about it

maybe i should check the code out
