I do not see how can white win on time against a chess program unless you play
manually but chess programs were not made to play manually.

I think that black is winning and shredder's evaluation is correct.

Black has a rook for a knight so I guess that the 50 move rule can convince
black to push the pawns forward and even sacrifice a pawn if it is needed and
win the game.
