RE: [ns] change the color of a dynamic link that is DOWN

["Haobo Yu" <haoboy@isi.edu>]

The simplest solution is:

- go to ~nam/netmodel.cc, grep for "DOWN", change that "red" stuff to
"background". Also go to the handling of "UP" immediately below and change
that "red" to "background". Recompile and there you should go.

Or, put these in a file, say, a.tcl, then do nam -f a.tcl abc.nam:

Animator instproc link-up {now src dst} {
        $self sim_annotation $now link($src:$dst) up
        $self instvar netModel
        $netModel ecolor $src $dst black
}

Animator instproc link-down {now src dst} {
        $self sim_annotation $now link($src:$dst) down
        $self instvar netModel
        $netModel ecolor $src $dst background
}

Let me know if this doesn't work.
