<br>For instance, I have 32 calibration files for the PR (one at each p, for each layer). It used to copy all of those to the working directory, and also make the change:<br><br>cp $DB_DIR/YYYYMMDD/db_L.prl1.dat.X db_L.prl1.dat <br>

this way, we don't have 30+ DB files sitting in the replay directory after a replay. <br><br>I'm not quite sure how your StartType.pl is different from mine, considering I also updated my directory (both on d2n and my own machine) by hand, and replays on both work just fine...<br>
