As Jenn say, some do, some don't. The original protocol does not skip. You should read the book pounds & inches. It has a great deal of information that might help you. I think there is a copy in the resources thread on this sight. If not, goggle it, it is a free pdf file. Don't pay for it though, because you can get it free. I read it and that is the program I am going with since it is the original and most tested.
