Although I use scoring in Yarn extensively, I have little
information as to how to use it effectively in the souper95gui
program. At the end of this message is a small score file which
was given to me by an acquaintance who said he really did not
understand the intricacies of the process and could provide no
help about a problem.
First of all, I get some sort of an error message because of the
score file when I download soup packets. So I would appreciate
it if someone on this list would point out the problem area and
what to do to correct the problem.
Second, what is the significance of the first line of the file,
both the word "all" and the left brace which follows?
Third, though I understand that most of these lines are spam
preventatives, what is the significance of the *., sequence which
I see on line 2? Are they some sort of wild cards? And why is
there a 1000 entry when I thought the maximum plus or minus value
was 10?
Thanks to anyone in advance for your help.
