Personally I find the GUI to be the least important part of a chess program. I would prefer having a text-only 32bit version of Hiarcs 7 rather than a 16bit MS-DOS version with a GUI. How about releasing a text-mode win32 version (a linux version would of course be even better :-) on the same CD-ROM as the DOS version? Tord
