Roy, I was lucky and manage to buy it on the e-bay site for a quarter of the
original price !!!
Because of the setup bug that exists with this piece of software, I had to
manually transfer the files from my PC onto the Pocket PC and run from there. If
you have't got a copy of it and are thinking of purchasing one, have a look at
the ChessBase site where you will find instructions on how to manually transfer
the files and fire up Pocket Shredder, I mean Pocket Fritz. Regards Bryan
