Question. Why don't you see all these new service packs with the other engines
out there? Tiger, Junior, Hiarcs?
Of course there are always some upgrades needed with the above mentioned
programs including shedder etc. but not to the extent that the Fritz 7 situation
has evolved into.
It looks like the Fritz 7 service packs will keep coming along with new
Interface dates and new modification dates in the engine properties. Then one
day when we expect to see an interface date of Nov ? 2002  or an engine
modification date of Nov ? 2002 they will suprise us all and it will say Fritz 8
and the engine will show Fritz 8,0,0,1
