If you start the program without an SoStatus.dat, it will prompt you for a range to work on and then create the file. The file will look like this
Code:
pmax=100150000000000
pmin=100100000000000
pmin=100100010000061 @ 230 kp/s
pmin=100100020000061 @ 207 kp/s
pmin=100100030000081 @ 210 kp/s
pmin=100100040000091 @ 201 kp/s
pmin=100100050000141 @ 225 kp/s
pmin=100100060000141 @ 229 kp/s
If you stop the program, it will use this file to restart near the point where it left off.
When it finishes, it will place as the last line. If you restart with this file, it will again prompt you for a range to work on.
It's all done behind the scenes for you, but you can create the file yourself (using a text editor) with the appropriate pmax and pmin lines so that you are not prompted for a range to work on.
Note that the p values in this file are the full value of the number, whereas the reservation (and prompt I think) is the number divided by 1000000000 (with a G suffix)
Code:
100100-100150 Joe_O
