-  Two new genetic operators
 -  AddAlternative - generalizes constraints by changing a 0 to a 1
 -  in an attribute substring 10010 becomes 10110
 -  This operator was applied with probability .01
 -  DropCondition - performs more drastic generalization step by
replacing all bits for a particular attribute by a 1.
 -  in an attribute substring 10010 becomes 11111
 -  The operator was applied with probability .60
 -  the addition of these operators increased accuracy from 92.1% to 95.2% on a range of datasets
