Hmmm, did I or did I not run a cim?....<scratches head>. Don't know but i will double check tonight.

But on a side note, after probing (100%) I had explored 99.9%. Only one sector had not been probed. So the probes did end up passing through just about every sector. Mind you this is a 5K sector, so that may change as the Univerese gets larger.

I'll try to clarify what I said. Yes, the probes go to every sector, but they don't pass through every possible warp link. does that make more sense? For example, there may be 5 ways into a sector, but your probe may only pass through one of those links. The other 4 may not get used, and therefore those links won't get added to your twx database. But if you pull a CIM, then you will get all the links.

zoso is canadian, you gotta go a lil slower (hehe)

you have not explored 1234
you hit C I 1234
it says "you have not explored 1234"
you probe from dock to sector 2345
the probe passed through 1234 on its way
twx now knows that 3456-->1234-->2345
but 1234 is a 6 warp sector
you hit C I 1234, u have "explored" it now u get all 6 warps out
or, after done probing, CIM and get all the warps for all the explored sectors all at once.
hehe

Hehe well thanx Slim, but normally its the other way around. But thanx everyone for the help. Being Canadian i have a tendency to enjoy a few pints now and again. Having done this the night in question i forgot to cim.... hence my new script incorrectly spitting out sector numbers.

Thanx Lades, A toast to you....

Zoso - also,
make sure you dont have any voids.
a "CF" plot will plot around voids while twx doesn't - so you can get conflicting results from that also.

Very Excellent point hog, thanx for the tip. I will have to include some walk arounds in my script.
Zozo

True, TWX's getCourse doesn't take voids into account. I've found occassions when I needed the ability to plot around avoids, but I had to write my own getCourse equivalent to accomplish this. CF or ^F is very slow by comparison.
