I have to echo some of the original post's problems. I have Fritz5, Genius Gold,
Hiarc6 and MCP7. I found hiarcs to be hardest to install, even following the
manual, I had to finally install from the dos shell (i don't know how I got it
to work). Because of the copy protection scheme and the inability to install the
program again without de-installing it, I have not used Hiarcs more than twice
in 6 months. It's just too much of a pain.

 As a chess player, I want a simple way to run these programs without wasting my
brain cells figuring it out. Altho' I have an engineering/math etc  background,
I don't want to think too much on this installation problems. Got to reserve
some of my brain to beat these monsters :)

 Hiarcs is a nice program. But due to above mentioned problems, it is in my
unused category. Furthermore, if my computer goes bust, I will not be able to
install the program again.

 I hope Mark (and other prgrammers) will solve this problem, as it doesn't make
sense to waste money buying twice when I can purchase something else. Like chess
books for example, an excellent value :)
