It's nicer if he tells us of his >results himself, also since he usually has more data to enlighten us ... Hey, wait a minute... that's not what I intended when I released Chest to the public. Nobody should wait for me and my slow 600MHz box to do all conceivable mate jobs around. Chest is available to everybody in order to enable them to do that themselves, on their newest/fastest box. So, please go ahead, and use it, and tell the rest of CCC the formidable results. I realize that you just wanted to be polite. That is fine, but in this case I do not want to receive this exact politeness. Really. To get that additional data from which I sometimes show parts to talk about EBF and the like, just use switch -s (statistics) and try to guess the meaning of the additional output. If you want me to explain some of this output, just ask me and I'll tell you some of my great wisdom :-) Ah, yes: that -s can be combined with -b: the output is then not just plain EPD, but EPD and that statistics info intermixed. Summary: Go ahead and use Chest in any way you like, I will not have any bad feelings by that, I will rather enjoy to see it being used.
