I can think of at least three of us.  ;-)  Myself, Scott F, Tom M,
and Allan G....did I say three? I can't count today!

Is not hard. If you want an idea of how I ran things, point your
favorite web browser to:

     http://scivax.stsci.edu/~kochte/full-thrust.html

I have 3 of the half dozen or so scenarios I ran on the page there.

Alternatively, email me (kochte@stsci.edu) and I'll be happy to
discuss any/all aspects of the scenarios I've run with you.

If you undertake this kind of project, you'll find the latter definitely
true.  ;-) ;-)
