How hard is that to understand??? > > What makes you think that Frans Morsch would spend his time on a futile thing such as testing his program with ponder=off? You yourself stated that testing your program with ponder=off is a waste of time, so I simply can't see why Frans would care to waste _his_ time. And, if you are 'not better with ponder=on, and are worse with ponder=off', what is the inference to be drawn? BTW, I think that Christophe has a sufficient quantity of grey matter to understand stuff, no need to turn ironic... and bass-ackward... *** Djordje
