I can support their commands but I think I won't. I don't want to be party to a 900 lb gorilla squashing Tim Mann. It's his spec, not Chessbase's, and they could have conformed to it better. I'm glad you've enjoyed the program so far. The next release have lots of improvements without lots more bugs, I hope. bruce On June 21, 2001 at 00:20:42, Brian Kostick wrote: >Bruce, > > No I did not implement fritz or ponder.
