There is one problem with running two programs under Windows 3.11. Since Win 3.11 uses 'cooperative multitasking' you can only compare programs that don't ponder while the opponent is thinking. The pondering program may get no computingtime when waiting for a move, but if the guessed move is played, it thinks it searched all the time and plays it's reply immediately, but without actually searching long enought. Another problem is, that the quality of the pondering and of the 'time allocation' are hard to compare without pondering. Frank Schneider
