I've noticed when taking a quick look at it that you can range the program
numbers it acts on... so you could do one program at a time. If that is true
I may try it on some basic programs I know have simple logic... if it worked
it would save time on them and I could then just do one or two at a time and
ensure they went through out testing cycle. But it will be a while before I
get time to try it.
