If not you will have to start from scratch again. Here's how to hack it: 1) Make a copy of tbmake.c (call it tbmake25.c or whatever) 2) Take the copy and locate the "/* announce high water marks */" comment. 3) Before that comment, set the high water marks accordingly. For KRRKR that is: maxmatev[c_w]=31; maxlosev[c_w]=19; maxmatev[c_b]=20; maxlosev[c_b]=31; (Perhaps I'm wrong here but it looks right.) 4) after the block where the high water marks are announced, find "distance=1" and change that to "distance=25" 5) remove all the code before the line you just entered to set the high water marks up to (& including) the block with the "/* initialize file contents */" comment. 6) recompile and run with the modified sources. Five days and one hour for 25 iterations seems excessive anyway. I built the whole KRRKR class in less than 2 days I think.
