Hi Kurt
We're going to abandon the matches using Deep Shredder 8. Ray will run 40 game
matches Shredder 8 v CM9000 TO5 and Shredder 8 v CM9000 Assassin at 40/120 on
his dual Athlon 2800 using ponder on (as each program will have use of a
processor).
I'll keep those interested of progress via this forum.
Graham.
