Subject: Re: Question on showing number of guesses tried

Thanks!! It worked.

Regarding to the inaccuracy, is it totally off? I mean, if we know how many
passwords per "batch" we try, then the actual number of guesses would be
just "displayed result"/"# per batch"? Thought the question now becomes how
to know # of passwords per batch.
