I would just like to clarify the above statement.  

The PROBE work was never funded.  NEXOR developed the software under its own 
funding, and made a binary version available to PARADISE.  
However, we were unable to continue to support the software unfunded.
  
A request for funding was made under the PARADISE Transition Phase, and a work 
item has been associated with it - however no funding has been assigned, so 
publication of the results stoped.
We hope to continue the work when funding has beed agreed, and have a draft 
design for a much greater level of functionality.
