But >its not mine. sorry but single cpu is part of the game. It is not the only part so I do not say that the fact that zappa can run on a quad is unimportant but it is part of the game and I guess that most of your potential customers do not have a quad and part of them do not have even a dual so they may be interested in how well zappa does on a single cpu. I expect every programmer also to be interested in how well his program does on a single cpu. > >3.

Possibly he >can get a free copy from Vincent. Its up to him whether or not to do it. I think that the hint that Leo can pirat Zappa in order to update it for WBEC is an insult against Leo. Uri
