NO but I can cull them later What I would like is a <= 300 position test where most of the problems solve in 30-3600 seconds with a good program on normal hardware, which isn't really very coincident with what you want to do. You seem to be more interested in redacting ECM, in order to produce something that is more thoroughly correct, which is a perfectly fine thing to do, although it isn't what I am interested in doing. Since it was your idea to start with, I think that you should continue doing this. I'll continue to contribute ideas, but I think I should stop suggesting stuff that subverts this goal. bruce
