Hello Mike,

there are ´unofficial´ Fritz/GUI updates every few weeks, which are actually
some kinds of ´beta test versions´, and so they are not made public and also
not offered when visiting the server.
Nevertheless you can download those upgrades, if you know the URL:

http://www.playchess.com/updates/gui8.iup

There was one at Dec 23 2002, and the latest is from Jan 30 2003.
If you want to try it, just download this file, copy into your Fritz8 folder
and run ´IUpgrade.exe´.

Best regards,
Franz.
