I am using a lightly changed version of aglets-2.0.2, but I don't use 
the built in server/viewer "tahiti" (I wrote my own). As the ASDK does 
not comply to any of the standards for agents (fipa, omg masif ..) and 
has some annoying problems, I would consider using another agent system.

I'm currently testing, debugging and evaluating the app, and yes, I will 
write some docs describing the app. I'll send you an email with the link 
to the app (webstart, jre1.4 needed) and docs,when it is finished.
