[walton]

Hi Alex anyone,

Cheers

Hi Walton,

Here is the stratage based on the MAs crossover. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance please let me know.

FYI if you do use the code Andy posted remember to comment out the line in preMain with checkVersion() else if the original gets updated you will be notified by EFS Auto Update that there is a new version of the efs which would not apply in this case.
