No.  I would like all the hash table information and current evaluations to be
stored so that I can continue analysis with out starting over.  Example is the
possition I have my machine working on now.  I would like to stop the program
for about 30 minutes while I check mail and do some other things but if I do the
analysis would start over again at ply 1.  I would like for it to continue from
ply 19.  I don't like having it run in the background because it uses to many
resources and slows my machine down.
