Re: System Tester help on Exits

["John R" <jrdrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Al (& Dave) nice elegant solution.

In case anyone was wondering why I would want an exit like this it is purely
for testing out the relative effectiveness of various different entry
strategies (by  minimising the effect of the exit strategy). In a real
system the exit strategy would be just as important, if not more important,
than the entry strategy.
