Genius3 needed less than 4 minutes on pentium100 to reject h4. Fritz5(16 bit) rejects h4 and after it again except it and finally reject it. The latest Junior5 also rejects h4 and evaluate Ke2 as a draw(I think there is no difference between the latest Junior and Junior5 in this position but I did not check it) I think many programs have good chance to reject h4 at tournament time control.
