Yea pretty much. I haven't sent the $$ yet, I'm waiting on shipping costs from psimet. But that should all happen in the next few days. Rob is letting tim borrow a pt while he builds tim's new wheel, so I don't have to wait
. Rob + Tim are good people for sure.

STS, LTS and SB are calculated from BS using the same algorithms that WKO uses to creata CTL, ATL and whatever the stress balance acronym in WKO is, from TSS.
At least for me, LTS and CTL from WKO are very close, like within a couple percent. That's probably closer than the accuracy of TSS or BS in representing stress.
I contributed the Performance Manager to GC last year.
FIT file support is in the developer builds (works great, I've been using it). It'll be in 1.4, which should be available soon.
If you can't build source yourself, read the mailing list- there are developer builds of proto-1.4 that are available for download.
Thanks for the info. I don't really care about the terms, and as long as the results are close, I should be all set. I don't know how to build from source, but it would be neat to learn. I like supporting open source, and the GC developers seem motivated to make it better, which is awesome. If I try GC once I get my pt and I'm not happy, maybe I will spring for either parallels or a netbook to run wko on, but I think I'll be happy with gc.
