Tom,

I agree with you that Shredder 8 is an unbelievably good program and that it's
"funky PVs" are unfortunate.  Is there a fix around the corner for that?  Surely
the programmer could fix it .... after all, since Shredder makes so many good
moves, and the first move and score are good, the "real" PV is "IN THERE"
somewhere .... so, let's see it!  Any news that this is being thought about, or
does SMK not care?

Mark
