I think they can test what they want when they want to. The fact that they publish their results is a bonus for us. They acknowledged that Tiger wasn't available yet, but they were so impressed with the engine they wanted to test it. I don't think they wanted to just look at the CDROM for many months without playing with it. SSDF have no Obligation to anybody or any program. They are a group of enthusiasts who practise their hobby. I hope they never get offended by all the critisism they get & start to withhold their results from the public. Although it would be quite just if they did. Onya SSDF Onya Amir and Shay Onya Junior6 Tina Long
