There used to be, cost over 100$, I saw screen shots of it and it had a real
good looking interface, (I can't afford it at all) but I was looking for it's
web site and I can no longer find it, too bad, it might be gone. I think though
that there might be links to it from the WCCC tournament site, don't know.
