With respect to your mirosoft background, i do not understand
'DOS has been obsolete since Windows 3.1' as Windows 3.1 is NO operating
system! Also WIN95 is doing "DOS based" (16bit) installation.
However it's right that 32bit OS system demands 32bit chess programs.

It's not only important 'where you want to go today' i think everybody
should worry 'where you are tomorrow'.
