I only know of two programs that David Levy had a hand in:
1. Visual Chess for the TI : it showed every move graphically that the computer
was thinking about. The Screen just went wild.
2. Cyrus : I think that I have the name of the author who
helped write it using David's ideas and I don't
think it was Richard Lang.
