[Squeakland] Broken links to Kedama examples?

I would like to run the Forest Fire example in Kedama, to see an
example of an Etoys cellular automata simulation.  Could you point me
to an Etoys release and version of Forest Fire code that are
compatible, please?

Here is what I have tried so far:

(a) I downloaded the "Introducing Kedama" pamphlet
http://svn.squeakland.org/pdf/kedama.pdf

However the links in Appendix E (page 36) seem to be broken.  The link is
http://www.squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://www.squeakland.org/fun_projects/kedama/examples/forestfire2.pr
However the Etoys plugin loads nothing, and indeed /fun_projects/ is
'404 Not Found'.

(b) Instead I downloaded
http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~ohshima/squeak/kedama/forestfire2.pr .
However that does not run in the current Etoys (Etoys 3.0, build 2177,
5-Jan-2009 ).  It shows an MVCMenu which, I guess, comes from the
project loading subsystem:
"Reading an instance of KedamaGetPixelValueTile.
Which modern class should it translate to?
Let me type the name now
Let me think about it
Let me find a conversion file on the disk"

(c) "Gallery of projects" bundled with the Mac Etoys.app download
(http://www.squeakland.org/download/)  has 3 Kedama simulations, but
not the one I desire:
ParticlesDyeInWater
ParticlesEpidemic
ParticlesGasModel

Possible ways you might be able to help me:

1. Point me to a version of Forest Fire that runs with Etoys 3.0, or
an updated version of kedama.pdf

2. Point me to an archive of a 2004 or 2005 vintage squeakland release
image (I read reports that "Squeakland 3.8-05" should run
http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~ohshima/squeak/kedama/forestfire2.pr ), or

3. finally, perhaps you could point me to documentation on how Kedama
has changed from 2005 to 2009, so I that I could try to rebuild the
2005 version of Forest Fire to get it running in Etoys 3.0, though
this sounds unlikely from
http://squeakland.org/download/releaseNotes.jsp .    (By the way, are
detailed changes to Kedama logged in Monticello, subversion, a
changeset, or elsewhere?)
