Hi Dan,

When I try to compile _any_ version of Crafty with MSVC++ 6.0 w/sp5, for some
reason when it plays I can not get over 95% cpu. Your version has no problems.

I use the default makefile, and the commandline nmake wcraftyx -f makefile.nt

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Should I install the processor pack from Intel? I would but I have no clue where
to get it anymore.

Peter.
