There are no signs whatsoever that Ruffian is a clone or some kind of wrapped commercial, other than it's a hell of a strong engine. The "logic" that because this is a strong engine it has to be faked is just rubbish. There is a releases waiting: Unix, Mac OS and some other unix-systems. After that I think it's time to shut up even for the most sceptical ones. Regards, Peter
