They will run the best without the awful "Adjudication Window" popping up for NM Draws and what not. Later GUI's (F6 and DF) will work, but you will see alot more of that window. The big difference is that the NEW command will work with the x.32 interfaces even during a game, thereby resetting the current game (hence, your chess playing machine is reset and ready for the next game, no matter what happened -- disconnect, etc.) The newer interfaces DEMAND to know why the game has stopped, which is why you see the Adjudication Window asking for a result. Once that pops up on the screen, the *ONLY* thing that can make it disappear is user input... -elc.
