I think it would be outclassed by modern program/hardware combinations, at very
least because its hardware isn't that fast.  When my program played against it
at the 1995 WCCC I asked the operator how fast it was going and I believe he
said about 200K nps.  It has a complex eval, but that is not very fast.
