Jerry,
      If you cut and paste my address and send it directly to me, there are no capacity limitations.

Regards,

Eric, I tried to do that while we were going through the last cycle. I was
probably too late in the cycle, and when I sent it out-got no response.
Later found out that no one got it due to size limitations of the discussion
group set-up.
Used a Systems Engineering type approach--made up a set of building
block/difficulty criteria per class, KEY manuevers (separators), difficulty
matrix, comparison to past schedules, etc. Probably thrown away, or wiped
out on my old computer by now. I will try to find it.

Adam,
     A way to make your thought work is to have maneuvers grouped in an
annex by class. Then, for example, there would be a pool of 402 maneuvers to
choose from, for a 402 unknown :-)

Regards,

Eric.

Adam:
Interesting concept; I think it could be made workable.  Bill Glaze
