The program comes with 2 engines (one for ARM processor and one for motorola
68000).  It plays *significantly* stronger with an ARM processor.  All of the
units listed in the results have ARM processors.  I agree with Bruce that Hiarcs
is now the strongest Palm program.  However, Tiger and Genius still remain
worthy buys and I will keep them on my machine.  If Mr. Theron wants to keep up
with Hiarcs and Genius, he needs to release an ARM-capable engine, or perhaps a
PPC engine .... looking forward to seeing that.
