My guess is, no offence, that you will only be able to produce a second rate program (like most of us, heh), so if you want a shot at the title - get a super computer! (I did not mean to insinuate DIEP is second rate;) My only concern is that it will be remembered (by ordinary folks), as program X became world champ. instead of program X on hardware Z became world champ. -S.
