I am a little confused. I see:

	ntserv/data.c   surrenderStart=1
	ntserv/defs.h   SURREND 4
	.sysdef		SURRSTART=2

Just to make sure if I set SURRSTART=-1 it *should* turn off the geno
timer? 

In effect the SURREND number is does not matter, since the geno timer
is not in effect. Correct?

I have set the SURRSTART=-1 on my beta testing server and when I get
to 2 planets, the geno timer kicks in. Any ideas?

Where does the code read in the .sysdef info and initialize the the
geno timer planet counter to the SURRSTART value?

Thanks.
