Received from David Levy. Ed =================================== The following will shortly be posted on the ICCA site. Since announcing the above decision there have been some complaints from programmers who had planned to enter with multi-processor machines. Different views were expressed to me, including the suggestion that programmers be allowed to enter both the single processor and multi-processor sections, and a suggestion that we leave things as they were originally and have only one title available no matter whether it is won on a single or multi-processor computer. In a situation like this no matter what is decided there will be complaints. That is the nature of such situations. I have reflected on the various arguments made to me over the past couple of days and on the wisdom or otherwise of making a further change in the rules, but in the end I have decided that my original decision should stand, and this is final. Although some of the multi-processor programmers will not be happy with the decision I feel that it is the best one for a big majority of programmers. And the multi-processor guys can still win a World Championship title. So please, no more complaints. Get your programs into a good mood for the event. And good luck to all of you in Maastricht. I should emphasize again that my decision has been taken in the absence of the Maastricht oirganising team so please do not blame any of them. Whatever fault there is for this decision is mine.
