The versions that are publicly avalailable 4.60, 4.61 and 5.04 do not share any
digital sequence with Crafty's executable and they do play anything like Crafty.
 I seriously doubt those programs have any Crafty code at all.  Contrast that
with Ruffian , which does show some digital sequencing that matches with Crafty.
 But we're talking perhaps a few lines out of 40,000 lines of code.  What I call
digital sequencing is to to run the the program, Microsoft Windiff  and compare
the two executables.  Normally Windiff is used on source code, but you also use
to match executables.  For example , there is really very little difference
betweeb Ruffian 1.0.1 and Ruffian 1.0.5.  What it does not tell is what exactly
is it that is matching up or is different.
