Hi Sarah,

that is right!

Testers are not a very big problem, we have in the past more as 100 persons in
the Arena test team which make a very very strong work and I have x contacts to
different other persons too (thinking on my chess mail address book). I will
build a little group and I am sure I will get enough helps for test a new
version.

Maybe you have interest too?
You are welcome ...

Best
Frank
