Since the etrace_replay script calls Simulation.run(), I hardly think that whatever you wrote above is right. Other than se.py and fs.py, we do not maintain the scripts in configs/example that well. So I do not like adding this new script at all. - Nilay ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
