I never meant to imply that Wincraft is a crafty clone..
Just remarking on the similarity of the names and the confusion..

Here's the original post..

"Has anyone ever heard of a program call Wincraft?  It just came out few days
ago for you to download.  It is over 42 megs to download.  The web site is
http://www.driveway.com/share?sid=8c72c6bb.7b10f&name=file.  It says you have to
have the Fritz 6 disc in the cd drive.  If you have any information about it
please send.  Thanks for you help!!!!"

Doesn't this look like Fritz?? No winboard engine takes up 42 meg..
