I have a few old chess programs kicking around; as some of these programs used, in retrospect, highly dubious and fragile copy-protection mechanisms - special sectors written to the hard disk, 'key files' on floppy disk not visible to normal installations of DOS and so on - it's quite possible they will not work on modern machines and OSes. (I can't test as I moved to Linux). Anyway, things move on. I was amused by this post http://www.seanet.com/~brucemo/nolot/nolot1.txt No '... weeks or months ...' now! Alastair
