<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am aware that we support [0..5] as MR TYPE. My point was that as we are generating an error when we execute with "-m 6" , we should also generate an error when we specify -m to any alphabet eg. "-m a". At present, "-m a" doesn't give any error and execute the test with default option for -m.</FONT></DIV>
