I have emailed this to you, but I post it here, so that
others will know what has already been sent.
(P.S.: It's embarassing, but Fritz's author is not on the list,

I've looked over your list, here's some things to fill in some blanks:
* In the list, the heading "Amature Programs" should be "Amateur

For commercial chess programs,
http://home3.swipnet.se/~w-36794/ssdf/nr000.htm
is a good checklist, and
the pages:

are a gold mine of information. Here are some of the nuggets that were
missing.

duplication,
or mirror, or something.
