attached mail follows:
Joel: We found out the problem with running the estimator was
connecting to the internet with a PC. The PC is not case
sensitive and transmits lower case into upper case. When we
switched to a UNIX based system, the uploading was successful.
The estimator result was 6.8% lower than actual. On an 11 hr. 1
min. actual build, the estimator came in at 10 hrs. 16 min.
Thanks for the tool, and keep up the good work. This certainly
beats "I think it will be done ????????" We are hoping for an
estimator for the 500 soon!

Lynda,
Unfortunately my estimator isn't smart enough to differentiate
between 2006.V and 2006.v I would rename your files to 2006.v (small
case), etc. I'll try to fix the estimator so it doesn't matter what case
you use for the extension. But, that will be in the future. Thanks for
bringing this to my attention.
Joel
