Chuck,

Is there anyway you can post something formatted similar to the output from
CM8K?  Since I primarily use chess programs for analysis, the format is a big
deal to me.  I am contemplating updating from M-Chess Pro 8 but am undecided
between CM8K and Fritz.  The problem with CM8K is that it requires DirectX Ver.
8.  I am reluctant to upgrade from Ver. 6 to 8 on my new computer.  I had lots
of problems with WINDOWS 98 on my old Pentium 200.  Eventually, I bought a new
computer to get out of the problems.  The problems appeared when I attempted to
upgrade to the latest of everything.  If you read the upgrade literature for
DirectX 8.0a, it tells you that if you have a problem with it, you will have to
reinstall your entire operating system.  I had more than my share of WINDOZE
reinstalls on my old computer.  My motto now is "If it ain't broke, don't try to
fix it."  My new Pentium III-866 has been running just fine since October.  Do
you happen to know what version of DirectX Fritz requires?  If Fritz can run
with Version 6, then I will probably just go ahead and buy that program.
