Yes, that is a "cough cough" a bug it will be correcting! Too bad, the only
thing you can do is protest so as in future versions of Chessmaster they
hopefully stop this practice!

Once every two weeks is _MORE_ than enough, which is required for CM7K.
Once a month would be more reasonable.

John Merlino, will I'm sure address your question, and it's doubtful anything
can be done for CM8K, but maybe he can help in preventing this practice in the
future if we all protest!

I may not even bother with the patch as Fritz6 is my programm of choice at the
moment.
However, I really like the King programm and will use it as well with the
Fischer T/C's as they work well.
I hope CM9K or whatever they call it will not have this, ' I must have the disk
to run ' problem!

Regards,
Terry
