The computer analysis is in a different area.  C.A.P. members have a special
access.  The only C.A.P. data publicly available is the ECO openings.  However,
since you have contributed software to the project, I will send you an email
explaining how to find the C.A.P. data for your purposes.

The C.A.P. data becomes available to the general public 3 months after the
completion of a phase of the project.
