    Hi,

    I'd like to move a group of Windows machines from running ecdl under CygWin
    to using the service version.

    This raises the question, should I copy my saved.state? If so, then how?
    (Will just moving the file into the install directory do it?)

    I don't want machines that have been running for a couple of weeks to start
    calculating the same points, the same way, all over again.

    If this isn't necessary, then I'm still curious how the problem is divided
    up. Is the time or something similar used to seed the initial starting
    point for each computer (i.e. before "using the same pseudo-random way of
    stepping from one random point to another")?

    Thanks,

    George
