And we don't all need to be able to get our hands on every program out there that exists. If we did, we'd already be way behind schedule before Bruce ever created Ferret, because there's all sorts of relatively famous Chess programs that were never distributed. But hey, we all got that cool little Gerbil program from Bruce (AND the code!) so we should be happy with what he did release the way I figure it. Pete
