I've just begun looking into implementing A* for Civil. Nothing to show
yet, mainly just trying to remember how A* works at the moment. 

A good sites for teaching yourself about A* and pathfinding are:

    http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html
    http://gameai.com/pathfinding.html

And there was a good article on GamaSutra recently:

    "Toward More Realistic Pathfinding"
    http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20010314/pinter_01.htm
