I always wait for Eugene to build the latest executable.  I don't bug him as
I know he stays busy in Microsoft land...

It should show up sooner or later...

I haven't done anything new yet, so you should be able to reproduce every move
made in CCT4 using 18.13...  I have found a time control bug (easy move is not
working) and have fixed that so the time might vary a bit from 18.13 this next
weekend, but so far, that is the only change...
