It also has problems with > epair. Maybe that isn't an issue for this purpose. Two things to consider: Does epair do it the "right way"? And does it even matter given that this behaviour hasn't had any exposure and is likely ever going to be used as input for another tool? I mean it still tracks the origin in the driver. This way you can even find the epair belonging together. It looks like it should given the design choices. Cheers, Franco
