Great work!! Question, will this generator generate the stat files that were customary with Eugenes generator?

Thanks
Yes, but see the remarks above, there still seem to be some issues with it.

Hi GCP,

Yes I read them but have faith in you <S>.

BTW when all is working well will the generator be able to do the 5-1 EGTB's??

Thanks

You could be reading and writing to disk at least 3 times faster using an SSD. They are cheap enough to be affordable now and are well worth every penny given the performance improvement they have to offer.

Did anyone find a corrected version of this code. I was enjoying stressing my machine, but (as GCP noted) it producing bad data for some files.

Did Eugene ever release the six man code?
