The genesis of this project was almost a decade ago when I was alone. Things are different now. You have to know there are others with me who have contributed in a few scientific disciplines ... in biophysics, microbiology, paleobiology and geology. It is an agreement among us in the group and I have to respect their wishes to be published, and what the instrumentation does and how, is part of it. It is a mutual process of idea preservation until a cohesive presentation can be made in print that I have learned to respect too. One of my colleagues had his idea stolen and published by others when as a student he presented his preliminary research on a poster at a conference. Was his idea worth stealing? He has two publications in Nature, so I believe him. As opposed to my project's noble inception, this should give you some sense where it sits today in the "human" realm and what I can and cannot say in public forum at this time. What I can say is, unlike medical research, the field of early life research is considerably more difficult to get funded, and one has to survive. Has the noble quest been corrupted? The answer to these kinds of questions is not at all simple ... perhaps in some ways yes unfortunately, but there is little choice. Survival is not fortune // I drive a 24-yo car and live in an apartment and that is unlikely to change except that the car keeps getting older, and so do I. In me personally, despite the changes of time, the burning question remains and is what continues to drive all my efforts. I am asking you to please be patient.

I let it go as-was with the S90-100c with the C10 card and no memory sniff. It is up to 900 myshoots & still running. Right now to stop the test I do a brutal exit from CHDKPTP DOS window. Could you show me a couple of snippets that can 1) poll a keystroke ("press a key to stop" idea), and 2) signal or probe for a PTP error in loop_shoots so I can stop it. That would prevent loss of DOS window information if the program can stop on error. Otherwise it fills up with error messages because the loop continues running.
