Blair,

   Thanks for your feedback. Here is my  orcallator.cfg file for you to
review. I think I need to
   understand something I didn't grasp the first time I ran this
program.

   1. what  percol-* files? are you referring to?

2. How are those generated?

I think the reason I don't understand it here cause your procedure
for setting up is very long winded.

It wouldn't hurt to put a statement that shows the flow of the app
and what creates these files that needs to be generated.
