pal, i enjoy your work so don't take this the wrong way. The version of Ivanhoe above is a good engine, and I am sure you chose it because it is the latest release. However, it is not the "official release". There is no official release, only a modified source code with no compile. That is the release. KLO, whose you use above is one of the people who compile it. Then PP also compiles it. One is no more official than the other, but one is stronger, and it is 46h- PPs compile. So you are running the weaker of the 2 compiles. Also, you may be searching for something in your testing I am not aware of, but I don't know if you realize there are probably 10, maybe more, stronger Ivanhoe versions than 46h or 9.46h. And it is simple- anyone who tells you different is full of shit.


Here I just want to ask you a favor for those who still like one view over the other. Would you mind starting a NEW post when you continue with this. From that view, it won't be long before the page is filled up with this post only. I just think you have enough threads so as to not want to bring 100 of them back to page 1 each time you reply to your post. For any one who likes thread view- you have to agree it has gotten way past ridiculous. I would appreciate it if you would let the old ones here go the way of everyone elses- the more time passes meaning the further they get from page 1. I has nothing to do with enjoying your work- which I do. It is just a matter of common sense.



Best,

george
