You certainly know as well as I do that providing technical support to endusers on auto232 incompatibilities and glitches (I'm not talking about the Fritz autoplayer here!) probably costs more than they would ever earn from selling it ... So it doesn't sound very attractive at all to sell this kind of product ... >This can be done with all the other programs. >Hiarcs, Rebel, Mchess, Diogenes, and and and.

Much money for a DEVICE that does not exist >and is only ficticious in MY mind ! :-)) You're talking about a device that only works in plain DOS. With DOS based programs. Disk Operating System. Stoneage Technology. Microsoft DOS. Last time I checked, Fritz 5 was still a Windows program ... Windows like in Windows 3.11, Windows 95, 98, NT. >I can take a look into Computerschach and Spiele.
