Here is part of the discussion that I copied ******************************************************************************* EeEk(DM) kibitzes: kib question from ardee: Does "12(6)" mean 12 total ply or 12+6=18 total ply? This has the been source of huge arguments for years! aics% CrazyBird(DM) kibitzes: 12 total in terms of brute force. 6 is just the max partition in hardware. aics% ******************************************************************************* I understand from it that 6 is the maximal part in the hardware of the 12 plies. Max partition means max part. The number 18 was not mentioned in Hsu's reply so it seems clear to me that he meant part of 12. In case that it was 12-18 plies I expect Hsu a reply like the following: "12 total in the software(brute force),6 is the maximal additional plies (not brute force) in the hardware". Uri
