Yes I have been a member from the beginning and I have done testing since the old Challenger10 until right now when I´m testing McPro8 and Rebel10 After 30 games McP8 looks good. Rebel10 plays very good and don´t seem to have the trouble of losing the same game time after time, because of the large book. The result is very good but we are not allowed to tell anyone. I hope your program will be released with an auto-player it´s very time-consuming to play manually. Good luck with your program! Bertil > Christophe > > >> >>Bertil
