Hi!

It's scheduled for last March. Interesting "new" programs include Shredder4
(excellent program especially in the endgames) and Crafty17.07 (excellent
performance with the Turbo-CDs) and Fritz6.x not to be forgotten (except from
Torsten)

For the moment it is 4 programs that can take advantage of the endgame-CDs.
Shredder4, Fritz6, Junior6 and Crafty17.07.
