No = >promises on the actual timeline but it'll happen. It's actually a good beginner task if anybody wants to do something for the project which requires just a machine and some shell programming. My old script can be improved in a lot of ways, the most productive would probably be to make it incremental rather than one big batch job. (Something like: Test any options for which there are no results, otherwise retest the option with the oldest result.) >While not all combinations tested were valid combinations, many that = >failed are.

If one _really_ wanted to burn CPU cycles, my testing years back revealed many combinations where options are incompatible.
