the main purchasers of chessprogramms ar us guys who want to test  against the
other software; one can only make money if one get such guys to buy all the
different versions; after all if one wanted to buy a chess software only to play
against the there is no need to include all the old versions as well; fritz 5.32
howver comes packaged with all the fritz versions free of charge
