I will try out with Comet as Damon is doing and see how does it go compared 
to three searches with XTandem. I also second that, that it would be really 
useful to have a capable multiplex xpress. 

It is also nice to hear from Jimmy that it is doable, and that 
there's/would be a rewritten xpress, of course with the big caveat to some 
day integrating it into TPP. If you need some testing with the developing 
standalone xpress, I will be happy to run some.

Best,

Alejandro
