R help - Jan 2002 - Simulation of a particular type of population

Does anyone have any R code or suggestions on how to generate a population
that follows a Neyman-Scott process?  More specifically, I'd like to
randomly generate both the parents and the children from Poisson
distributions and the children locations from a bivariate normal onto an
N by N grid.  If the locations spill over outside the grid, then I'd like
to reflect those locations back into the grid.  Thanks for any advice.

The function pcp.sim in package splancs simulate a Poisson cluster
process. It may be a starting point. It doesn't do the reflection
part, though.
