For your idea of "the ultimate free chess package on a disk" I didn't specify that the package had to be free. AFAIK, Genius4 is not free, even though it may not be available anymore. In a different thread someone as metioned running Shredder under the Arena GUI. Both the Arena GUI and the Shredder engine will fit quite comfortably on a floppy disk. Maybe this is the strongest floppy disk package, or would the absence of a book for Shredder be too much of a handicap? I don't know. Jules , it should >do the trick. > > Albert
