Come on, Thorsten. You must be kidding. For a few days we interchanged emails about how to make CSTal work on my computers and we didn't succeed yet. Fernando has the same problem with Mchess 7. I agree with Fernando wholeheartedly. The only reason I see to stay in DOS is this miserable 5% difference in speed. We all use Windows, that's after all how 99% of us work and contact through the Internet. DOS programs are too often a source of problems. Enrique
