Hi John,

Big fan of your work.

Did you end up going with the network you accidentally released the other day?

Or chose a new one?

Will download the updated binary if you chose a different network.

I was wondering the same question also.

The Wasp 7.00 download was not changed since the initial link was posted several days ago.

All gratitude goes to Maestro Jim. Without an essential contribution (six engines out of eleven) my PYTHON League would not have been possible. Thank you, MAESTRO!

An architecture/programming problem. I prefer these imperfect (minimalist) engines to the sacred monsters that always give me the impression of "déjà vu".

This engine seems to be buggy.
