Hi John,

I think I know where this is coming from (a shared supervisor with serious
superiority complex by any chance?) so feel duty bound to try and help, even
though I don't know much about A* myself.
So anyway if you haven't already found these, this page may be helpful:
http://www.cris.com/~swoodcoc/software.html
as might this code:

(written for PC, but the A* bit seems to be generic)
Let me know how you're getting on with it....
