This is _not_ going to happen. I'm always on ICC. Vincent knows that. He knows that he could put this to rest easily. But he also knows the truth, even if he won't state it. So no match will happen. Should talks even get serious it would take a lawyer and team of arbiters to verify all his demands (no Kure book, etc.) I get to play plenty of good programs on ICC. I don't need games against Diep to improve my stuff. Such games really don't help much at all actually... And that way I don't have to see his nonsensical never-ending narrative about architecture, NUMA, and the like that he constantly spews into channel 64. >>cheers >> martin >> >>> >>>Dave
