attribution in FCC3333 examples is wrong?

[Andrew Trevorrow]

The FCC3333 examples have a comment saying the rule was

discovered by Brian D. Eubanks.  I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

This 3D CA was first described by Carter Bays in a 1987 paper:

"Candidates for the Game of Life in Three Dimensions"

http://www.complex-systems.com/pdf/01-3-1.pdf

See the discussion of Life 3333 near the end.  He mentions

two gliders are known.

Golly 3.3 has a script called 3D.lua that lets you explore this CA.

If you copy the following lines to the clipboard and then select

Open Clipboard from the File menu you'll see the two gliders:

3D version=1 size=30 pos=13,12,14

x=5 y=7 z=2 rule=3D3/3H

boboo$bobo4$3boo$3bo/bobo$oboo4$bobo$bboo!

Thanks Andrew, I'll fix it.

I'll link to Golly's version too because it is far easier to use. :)
