Hi,

I've got two questions about the result-files.

First, may I combine result.txt files just like result.dat files?  This would be helpful for uploading them from no-net machines.  I guess it is possible, I just want to be sure.

And the second question: Does the client read the results.dat everytime it starts a new simulation?  So, is it reasonable to install a new best250 (or similar) results.dat while the client is running, or do I have to restart it afterwards?

Thanks,
wirthi

To 1.: You can.

To 2.: You also can.  The client changes the genetic algorithm only, if there are 10+ results in the results.dat.  But there is one risk: If the client tries to read data out of results.dat and another application is using this file, the client may crash.
