Hi Karsten,

I'd like to participate, hopefully this time the tournament get's
starting !

In consideration of the time built limit 1985 I can run Psion or
Cyrus on an old IBM 386/16 or Mephisto III, but my favourite unit
would be simultano. Although this one is a little "younger", I think
it can be put into category "well known" weaker programs... or ?

No problem for me to start with more than one program.
