Hi Sally,

Indeed, this is a simple case -- a one-sample t-test -- and it should go
smoothly. The step where you say it hangs (when it generates the 200
sign-flips) isn't one what would cause difficulties. Nonetheless, could you
try again adding the options "-cmcx" and "-cmcp"?

Thanks.

All the best,

Anderson
