    Yes, I was surprised at this too. I think it was about eight
   years ago that I paid $200 Aus. for the DOS version of Genius2,
   and when I upgraded to Genius4 for Windows, I had to return the
   Genius2 master disk. It was a floppy, and I remember it had three
   'lives' on the disk. You could transfer the lives between your
   hard drive and the floppy.
      I remember playing the Genius2 against Novag Expert, the Genius
   winning every game, and that was on a 486 computer.
      This free download is a real find.It downloaded quickly and easily
   and gave me an icon on the desktop.
      Genius programs are nice and user friendly, have no bugs, and
   are strong. By today's standards, the hash table size is very
   limited, but ram memory was expensive in those days.
      Thanks to the poster who gave the site address.
