This is what I do -- apparently it is not very popular amongst people with the better programs. From what I have heard, most of them call the quiescence routine rather than do a back and forth between quiescence and main search when quiescence is in check. Perhaps they are concerned about too many extensions in the quiescence beyond incheck or checking extensions creeping in. To them I suggest avoiding the extra extensions by noting where the call to main search comes from and disable all but the extensions they want. Stuart
