Hi, One thing you might consider - when you change to v22.11, check out your results file. If you have a P-1 run logged on an exponent you haven't yet started LL/DC testing, make it run the P-1 again (change the ,1 at the end of the assignment line in worktodo.ini to ,0). If you are already running the LL or DC test, things are not quite as straightforward; I'd reccomend:
For DC tests, if less than half done, force P-1 to rerun (as above) else just let it run on. For LL tests, if less than 1/3 done, force P-1 to rerun (as above). If between 1/3 and 2/3 done, change the test type from Test to DoubleCheck then force P-1 to rerun. (This makes the P-1 limits smaller - with a lower chance of finding a factor, but using less time). If more than 2/3 done, just let it run on. I did this on my own system & have been rewarded with _two_ factors found - one on an unstarted DC assignment, one on a DC assignment which was about 40% of the way through - there are still a few repeat P-1s running, too.
