Although you never know I could be >wrong ;) Hi Peter, read: 01. Arena News Ticker 02. WinBoard Forum 03. CCC Forum 04. FCP Forum in different messages ! Ruffian download have not to do with Arena GUI. The program is later available on: 01. Leo's download Area or ... 02. an own webpage (after my latest information, on an own webpage) See the example for Dragon! Dragon is also Arena partner program and the new version 4.3 is available on the webpage from Leo Dijksman. We have no interest to have non Arena user on our webpage and no interest to create a new download area. We must no promote Arena because Arena is freeware, we have no financial interest. But right is, we are happy that we can added later Ruffian in our setup files and have interest to added Ruffian information (the same for all partner programs) on our webpage. Maybe you understand now better ... It's really easy to understand in my opinion! Best Frank Main reason for us is: We have much free and commercial GUIs. Users of all the different GUIs must have a chance to download the programs without Arena. But we hope that much persons try Arena and have fun with this new and very strong new software.
