Another question for all the wonderful brilliant readers...
I am trying to scan and get all the jobs names running. In C68 I am

topofthetree job both to 0,
the full tree on its own in most
cases. Will try to do some recursion (will check on a hand drawn tree)

Any suggestions in the meantime would of course be welcome.
