Screamer Chess build 57 isn't available for download quite yet. Although William submitted it to the InfoMac archives, it will take a few days until it is actually downloadable from there, since the volunteer archivists screen and virus check submissions by hand. You can check for its downloadability by using this link: http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/cgi-bin/NewSearch?key=chess which will list the InfoMac Macintosh chess software archive holdings, most recent first.
