As the 2D array files have all been reverse engineered there is absolutely no 
guarantee of BeamScheme operating correctly on them. If you have a file that is 
causing BeamScheme to crash or is giving strange results please forward the file 
along with a description of the problem to alanphys@yenzakahle.co.za.
