Hi there,

i am playing around with kangaroo and i am not sure if it's working correctly. Why is it saying "Kangaroos:  0 2^-inf"?
Also, whats the meaning of HT Max/Min/...? Would be great if someone could explain it to me. I am running kangaroo in client/server mode with server command: ./kangaroo -w save.work -wsplit -wi 600 -o result.txt -d 24 -s in.txt

Here is an example of one of the workfiles, as it's saved every 10minutes there are severall workfiles now.

Do you merge them for example once a day and only keep the merged file or do we need the save.workTIMESTAMP too?

Thanks a lot Smiley
