Uli, I don't agree here. I would be happy, if Yace were tested by SSDF with an
"amateur" book. For example the one created by Mogens. Or I could create my own.
I would not think, that it was unfair. Of course, I'd expect a big advantage for
the commercial programs. But I'd expect this anyway. The book issue may make
that advantage even bigger. But not unfair.

BTW. It was even suggested to SSDF several time to test Yace - at least once by
you (thanks, I see that as an compliment). I was never approached by the SSDF
(other than by various virus emails with an from adress form SSDF testers ...
but of course the from was probably not correct).

Cheers,
Dieter
