I sympathize. I just set my 'work to cache' value up by two weeks and got a
batch of factoring assignments, just for variety. I shut my program down
and re-organized the worktodo file so those were interspersed with the
tests, for variety's sake. I checked all the carriage returns and stuff
before I saved it and started the client; was there any risk in doing that?
I have Gateway Goback (A program that constantly saves about 500 meg of the
most recent versions of changed files) so I can undo it if need be.
