I certainly hope this won't be the norm for further progress. It isn't true advancement in my opinion. As far as spotting mismatches between programs (hopefully not tuned intentionally), I believe we have a pretty decent system with HIARCS. Nothing cutting-edge or spectacular... If you're interested, send me an email with the address registered with this name. At any rate, you have a much larger field of beta testers than we use... Don't some of them run loads of engine matches for you? -elc.
