Thanks Jason.  I am interested in how the programs scale from handheld to pc and
from handheld to handheld.  Nothing like Specint is out there for handhelds, so
this is interesting.  Comparing NPS from CT and Ruffian is mostly meaningless,
however, CT or Russian on different devices (handheld, PC) is interesting.  CT
is the strongest handheld for sure and SSDF has done some testing, so the NPS
comparison is even more interesting.  Thanks again, I will consolidate and post
the consolidation later.
