Richard,
is -relogit- still under active development? Maybe it is so good it does not
need any fixes, but it was last touched in 1999.
It is not to be found via -findit relogit-, and you cannot -net from- the
website you cite. The only way to get it is to unzip the files into the
PERSONAL directory... The point is that beginners have a hard time finding
it, and that is why the list has to alert them to it over and over...

Like Martin says, it doesn't matter which is one and which is
zero. Also, my experience is that the classification table, which I
never use all that much anyway, is especially worthless when you
have such an extreme split.
You may wish to check into Gary King's -relogit-. See
