Why doesn't this >happen? There are not many MTD programs. I could mention the names of SOS and Postmodernist. Both programs are not exactly beginners. Other programs are simply no serious MTD programs. I mean cilk was like 256 processors and nearly material only, *no* compare with other programs therefore, especially because there is no new data about it. MTD you get way sooner than PVS problems with dubiously adressed things as lazy evaluation and futility in qsearch. Obviously that means that if they simply do not use it or adress it better than the careless programmers who use PVS, that they do not have the problem which good PVS problems don't have either. >-- >GCP
