Sorry but Sargon was very weak compared to Richard Lang's program in 1991.
The domination of the Sargon series (written by Dan and Kathe Spracklen) ended
in 1985, when Richard's programs started to win World Championship after World
Championship.
In 1991 the Spracklen's program were not competitive anymore. Richard Lang's
programs and Ed Schröder's programs were much stronger.
Don't trust your impressions.
