Check out the Genesis03 thingy at David Jenkins home page
http://www.jenkinsdavid.demon.co.uk ). This will generate a 3D map, it
could be done multiple times to generate different properties of each point.
It is fairly simple. For each point in a 2D rectangle, you add the heights
of the eight surrounding points and divide by about 7, depending on how flat
you want it. You can check it out at the link above, anyway.

HTH!
