That could be used as an initial guide. There are differences between versions of each program, of course, but the difference between, say, 4.1 and 4.2 of a particular program is much less than the difference between two random programs. As long as you keep in mind that there are limitations on your assumptions that impair the precision of the resulting estimate, you could derive ratings for the programs. Roger
