Brian T, I guess you and I use the same method. In short, I am hoping to standardize the text that will appear in the CM9K_XXXX.param files. The thing I thought was important was to make it easy for us to exchange/interchange .param files of our custom settings. I'm sure your script will be useful or maybe you'll just make your files available somewhere, if interested people will agree on the wb2uci.eng format.
