Hi Borja,

Good looking plots so far.

Well, the one thing I see is that you have _{0,1}?, there's no need for 
the ? after the {0,1}.  Use the ? or {0,1}, probably the ? because it's 
meaning is clearer.

I would run orca with -v -v -v and sent the output.

Also, given that we're discussing development, this thread is more 
appropraite on orca-dev at orcaware.com
.

Great!   Let's get you set up with a Subversion account so you can 
maintain your code in the Orca repository.
