Good question.  Would be interesting for the SSDF guys to take some old
programs, but on _new_ hardware, to see where they fit.  Of course it might
be a bit embarassing to some as well.

BTW, in passing, no version of wchess or zarkov ever played deep blue, much
less drew with it.  I think Zarkov might have drawn deep thought once, but
it wasn't running on a PC at the time, it was running on a souped-up HP-PA
system that was at HP headquarters, if I recall correctly.
