I was probably a few of those, but not all 13...

btw, the version I posted is exactly the same as yours, I have
updated my modified version (I have kept it to my self, except that I
sent terry a copy of the changes for v5, that worked different) that
allows the data directory to be passed as a command argument like this:
$ scantesla7 /some/path/to/data

this allows the executable to be in a different place then the data- files. 
this should work with windows too (untested) like so:
c:\> scantesla c:\some\path\to\data

if no directory is specified, it works just as it did before...

I did this so the executable could be installed in a system
directory, and I could keep the data any place I wanted. It makes it
act how a unix command should ;-)

If any one cares I can post a simple patch to the scantesla source
that adds this feature to the new version.

Also would it be possible to make the program more parallel, perhaps
trying several models at the same time using different threads? This
would make it a lot faster on computers with either multiple CPUs or
CPUs that support Hyper-Threading... I ask, as it takes the same time
to run on my powerbook, and my dual G4... I really do not understand
enough of how the internals of the program work to just jump in and
try to do this without asking first.
