I will look it up when I am at home. The DOS-programs started from the board
position, and if my memory does not serve me wrong, in CB there is also a
checkbox for "first game from setup position" or so, or at least you can use
"opening database" where Fritz e.g. makes the opening moves from the database on
the own and partner computer. It can also be that this is removed in
Fritz6/Junior6 and once was in Fritz5.16/5.32.

I'd still prefer LAN-support. Let's hope that Mindscape will take that and
others follow.
