Hi!

Yes I was surprised, how easy SDB handled a program with 180K Source
and a code of 70 to 80K. Ok it needed much memory but it did it.

was worth it. I found it within 1 hour. Otherwise it would have tied me
upfor a minimum of two day. 
I absolutely aggree with Marco. Everyone not using it looses points
