I think both of these can be accomplished by the independent library /
catalog I suggested.  If your main focus is currently on the different
types of networks and genomes, I'll start working on the experiment
separation.

Not yet, but I have a derivate of the Maximizer designed which I'll
try to plug in later this week.  It gets a list of numbers, and the
odds that the number will increase in the next row.  If it picks a
number from an odd row, it's also picking the same column in the next
row.   He who ends up with the highest total after we run out of
lines, wins.  Something like a BlindGambler experiment, since it only
knows a current payout and the chance said payout will increase.

I'll drop you a note when I get it done, plus, clean up the code for
the Maximizer a bit and send it over.
