Yes, let's make this change.
Thanks.

Jennifer suggests changing the default iterations count of the SDF

then change all the demos that use the default.  Any idea how
to find them?  These would be demos with an SDFDirector that
do _not_ set the iterations parameter.

Edward,
I hacked up an awk script that attempts to insert the iterations parameter
if it is not set in SDFDirector or any of the derived classes.

The body of the script looks like:
awk '{
                 if ($0 ~ /SDFDirector"/ || $0 ~/DTDirector"/ || $0 ~
/HDFDirector"/ || $0 ~ /PthalesDirector"/) {
                     sawSDFDirector=1
                     split($0, indent, "<")
                     closer= indent[1] "</property>"
                 }
                 if (sawSDFDirector == 1) {
                     if ($0 ~ /<property name="iterations"/) {
                         sawIterations=1
                     }
                     if ($0 == closer) {
                        if (sawIterations == 0) {
                           print indent[1] " <property
name=\"iterations\" class=\"ptolemy.data.expr.Parameter\" value=\"0\">"
                           print indent[1] " </property>"
                        }
                        sawSDFDirector=0
                        sawIterations=0
                     }
                 }
                 print $0
             }' $file

Basically, it looks for SDFDirector or its subclasses and the inserts
the iterations parameter
if it is not already set.

I ran the tests and while there are a number of failures, it is not looking
so bad.

Shall I check in the changed .xml files?

Note that there is an open Kepler bug:
" SDF director iterations parameter default of 0 is unfriendly"
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5546

This change will requires updating documentation in both Ptolemy II and
Kepler.
