Hi Dave,

These positions go back to posts here sometime around Dec 26/05 as thats the
date I have on my epd files. I believe the first 9 are from Nunn ending suite
and the last 11 were from posts here around that time. Sune and I did also
exchange emails around that time and it could be Sune suggested the additional
11 positions in email. Sune just sent me his testset and the positions are the
same excluding of course the addition of Sune's notes to those positions.

Sarah.
