Hi, Mogens!

OK. The word unknown has not been very precise from my side. Not strange since
English is not my native language. I am a Catalonian. ;-) . Anyway, what I meant
is that such a strong program, definitely much stronger than the winboard
version, could have deserved, IMHO, a specific commercial package with suficient
information for all the potential users.

Regards,

Tom.

...by the way, also the Goliath contained in Young Talents is much stronger than
all other Little Goliaths freely available for Winboard environment.
