What you say is what the field crew did. Then when our laptops were rebooted they would go back to searching. After spending all of lunch trying to get the laptops to not keep changing back the students decided that using the First loaner Classmate was better then trying to fix the problem and risk further matches. I have not checked with students since to see if they found the problem. That is their problem to work on and I will at some point be told they have found the problem and it will probably be some thing else.

I am sure Alan you are far better at this subject then I am. My daughter tells me I am a little out of date. The last program I wrote was with punch cards. Now I just report what I am told.
