<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Anybody have a programmatic way to capture the iterations per estimation stage, maybe some form of screen output parser?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm dealing with multi-stage fishery models that often require a lot of iterations to converge. It would help if I could pinpoint the particular stage or stages that broached an evaluation limit. I'm not aware of any way to capture this report-style, the information does not seem to be stored by ADMB in a manner a conventional user might access. As the common bottlenecks I encounter can require thousands of iterations to overcome, I'd like to avoid simply spooling and visually wading through the screen output to determine iterations per estimation stages. </FONT></P>
