It is this: a) It will be -or would be- a windows version, as anyway anybody could presume. b) It would not be named Hiarcs 8 or something, but with a more flashy name. c) It will handle very big hash tables. CD-Rom version, of course. d) an incredible -they say so- strong engine that has been being tested with GM or IM kind of players. British players, guess whom. e) endings TB created by Uniacke with original heuristics. f) Not sure -my source was very doubtfoull about this- but it seems some effort was given to get a really better GUI, not the current almost Hercules breed. . G) tutorial capacities far beyond the usual in the industry. I would like to make clear that I cannot ensure nothing of all this. Maybe I am just victim of a joke. I just give voice to something said to me by a guy that usually know what is happening in british CD pressing industry. Probably he could lose his job If I give his name. And I would lose a friend. Maybe I will lose him the same just for this. I Hope no. After all, this is not nuclear weaponry. Anyway, true or not, in only some weeks we will know for certain. Ciao Fernando
