Well, I thoroughly understand that. In actuality, I am not going to
purchase a system. But as the discussions here on sytems have become
interesting, I'd like to understand how to test a pre-written system

know that piece of information so I can understand the systems
discussions going lately. Simple interest, nothing more.
