[developers] Parsing a profile with ace

[Woodley Packard]

Glad you all have communicated so effectively, even before I am able to get to a real computer!

One extra note: to record a full forest profile, pass -f to art and -O to ace.  That's if memory serves, anyway.  More  from a real keyboard when I get home if  you have trouble!
