Hi Christophe,

Boris Diplomat (I + II) were cheaper versions of the 1978 Boris in the
nice wodden case. The program was nearly identical to Boris. I suppose,
due to the very small depth search (max 8 Ply, at 3 min/move about 4
ply), the program has maximal 8 KB.
That this very small program should be a version of a Slate-program
seems strange, but not impossible.
