I know his son. And I know Mark. But the facts remain the same:
with any sold hiarcs6 for fritz5 engine, he sells one unit hiarcs6-Dos less.

But he is contraproductive. If I can buy hiarcs-engine for 98,- DM, and have to
pay 200,- DM for a dos-chess-program, i do buy fritz5 and hiarcs-engine.
And get many engines in one user-interface. So who buys hiarcs6 if he can buy
hiarcs engine 1/2 the price ?!
