Yeah, this helped a lot. Thanks!

Well, I wasn't stuck but the technologies needed to get the MANTA and the 
HAMMERHEAD didn't match the info given in Kasey Chang's FAQ. Since I 
hadn't played the game in almost 6 years and at that time I never kept 
track of technology paths, I was wondering if I had run into a bug or if 
Xcomutil had changed technology paths.
