I don't own any of them, so I can only go on the hundreds of results I've seen
posted here.  It seems to me that Shredder 6, Hiarcs 7.32, and Gandalf 5 are
very, very close in strength.  Nimzo 8 does appear to be somewhat weaker.  (Of
course, Chess Tiger 14 [& GT2] and Fritz 7 are clearly stronger, according to
most results, and Junior 7 seems to be weaker than F7 but stronger than the
programs mentioned in the subject.)

Next question: is any of the four programs in the subject stronger than Fritz 6?
 Than Junior 6?
