Hello Bob

The command seems to be

evtest <filename> [exitcnt]

Except I was a bit puzzled as to what the exitcnt parameter acutally is ?
Seems to give different format outputs depending whether I used 1,2, or 3.

I am trying to grab the result from Crafty in a simple 300 row file. It isnt
playing ball at the moment though !

            regards Geoff
