:For what it's worth, a long time ago someone on the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hitching/ "hitching" list] mentioned that he could do everything I do with a spreadsheet. Never heard from him again... Also, my program is pretty modular, if you want less output, just comment out the generation of some (or all) of the more esoteric tables, recompile, and rerun.

:Some of my stats were used, as you may have seen, by Sylvain Viard in his 1999 [http://membresprino.lycosneocities.frorg/bpierretSylvain%20Viard/memoire/memoireSylvain%20Viard.html Auto-stop Approche géographique] Masters Thesis, and some of the less esoteric tables that the program generates are useful(ish) to answer questions on fora or the various mailing lists.
He, Prino, you made it into a science :-) like that file of yours, but I didn't yet totally get what you write where - could you upload a sample that's filled in? cheers--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 09:35, 21 September 2010 (CEST)
