John and all,

  I have conducted similar tests imprompto based on Perry's and
other IAHC members assertions.  My results are very similar.
I went several steps further and automatically loaded and 
excel file with costing information using a pearl script for
record keeping and than genned a small database, for historacal
perposes for this information.  I did not come up with 
$900,000/hour, but it was significantly less than the amount
or $20,000 bieng considered by the IAHC.  I worked it out
to about $87,000/hour.  Which I would be glad to cut in half
for the IAHC under a subcontract for implimentation.  IAHC,
ya intrested?

Regards,
