Go up one level in this thread


If you don't get more numbers posted here, then I'd be kinda interested in
running it (at least to 8ply which shouldn't take too long).

If you want to increase that variable (might as well go to the biggest one you
can, just in case I upgrade and want to have a crack at 9 too.....) and mail me
a WinNT exe, I'll get going.

Cheers
