I was wondering that recently. At one point Father C. was fixing up the old one but that may have been a side-effect of work to get the _NEW_ version working. If consensus is that the old one isn't useful then I'll switch it to the new one. I'm always open to changing what is smoked by the thorough run, although the more options the slower it runs. I put the integer-related options on the same line as other options to keep the time lower but with added coverage. -- George GreerThread Previous
