I'm trying. :)  Part of the problem is that it's probably being tuned for my
slow PII-300, so I have no idea how it would react on a faster machine.  But I
have been working on this 'version' for quite some time.  Playing previous
incarnations of it (less-tuned ones and such) on FICS/ICC, they did value the
attack far too much.  Hopefully I've solved at least that problem, and now maybe
it values the attacks too low sometimes (in cases where it clearly has a winning
attack, but evaluates it low).  To solve that I need to teach it more about how
to attack (number and type of attacking pieces, king shelter, and number and
type of defending pieces).
