-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Do you have a 1k version you can put up of the implementation that is supposed to mimic what I do?
It should compare very close to GenAnchor_1k. If you can get that working then you can start with that as your reference bot and make improvements from there. - - Don Jason House wrote: > > > On 9/24/07, *Don Dailey* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > My impression is that you over-engineer (or over-think) everything.
