Nick, I don't fully agree that the mi2- tests serve no useful purpose. The mi2- tests make sure that the MI2 protocol is completly tested (MI2 works no less then what the mi2- tests say they do), and the mi- tests make sure that the current development MI protocol is being tested. I think it's important to keep both tests for this reason. Do you still think they should be removed after this explanation? For instance, it's possible that a command works differently between the 2 versions (don't know if this currently even happens). Thanks, Bob Rossi
