OK; lots of movement in the past week.  On the ICWS '88 hill, Note Paper
finally got knocked off.  It had a score of nearly 700, I would guess, by the
time it went away.  Now that the oldest program around is "Crimp 2" (age
411), perhaps it's time to shift to 64 process count maximum?

On the experimental hill, "Spider 2.0" FINALLY got knocked out of the #1 slot.
"Sigil", the new #1 program, has the following ";strategy":
;strategy replicator-fast
For those who don't realize, it's basically a paper program.  I believe that
information on it has been posted here in the past.
