Thanks! You can try to give one option "-s". That produces a summary line per depth completed (wanted) but also produces a lot of statistics after completion (not wanted). You may get rid of the unwanted output by filtering away lines that do not begin with a hashmark (#). Those summary lines do, all others should not. Just try -s, look at the output, and decide yourself if it helps. Another progress report can be achieved with "-t" (move tracing), which you may or may not like. Also: try and look. If you want explanation for the (cryptic) output you see... just ask. I'll answer to the best I know ;-) Both options should work with and without -b. Cheers, Heiner
