I tried to run mass-check a bit ago -- for the first time -- and I'm afraid it was killed on my shared system account -- not surprising, of course. So the good news is, I'm now downloading Cygwin! I've brought down the default packages which took from 7:07pm to 8:22pm, connected at 32kbps. Having now installed the basic packages, I'm now working on those required for an SA installation. Glad your site pointed me to it, as I'd come across it before, and was put off by all the stuff that basically said, "We're the Cygwin site, and, err, you can't get Cygwin here (lol)." Ah, but this time (wink, wink; nudge, nudge), I figured out you just click the setup icon (the one that reads, Install Cygwin now :)), download, and run that, a nice little program that manages all the packages, keeps track of what you do and don't have. > I'll gladly update that documentation to answer questions people may > have, and will even update/improve my script if people have suggestions > along that line. I was wondering about the part: "The time required for a ruleset of a dozen or so rules takes basically the same amount of time as a single rule, so when multiple rules are to be tested, they may as well be tested within a single file. The time will grow significantly as your corpus grows. mass-check runs for the full distribution ruleset (or for hundreds of rules) will take significantly longer than mass-check runs for small numbers of rules." Is this making a distinction between number of separate files across which rules are distributed? Or is the running time variation here, as I would hope/think, a function of number of rules, without regard for the number of files involved? It's that, "they may as well be tested within a single file," that's throwing me.
