Just to clarify , and prevent this in going from a going in bad direction --
there are only a few (let's say less than 20, it may be more or less) chess
programmers in the world that have programmed a better chess program than
Crafty.   My statement "worth his salt" pertains to those programmmers who
written very strong programs such as yourself that possibly have written a chess
program strong enough to go commerical.  Some amatuer programs also fall in that
category.  I'm not meaning any disrepect here.
