While printing the new SSDF list I recognized something similar and asked Mr. Karlsson in a email concerning this today. I doubt, I'll get an answer. " No autoplayer " is absolutely no reason for my opinion, not to test a brandnew product of this value. As weather de Koning nor Distributor Mindscape have the slightest lobby down there, nobody will have a look at the settings, that make sense. So, if at all, CM will be sent into games with the standard settings - of 1 MB Hash tables - against progs who refuse to start below 48 MB. But, as said, they didn't care the least about this in the CM 5.000 Vs - they didn't even use CM 5.500 - why should they use CM 6.000 at all ? ELVIS
