Subject: Crafty WCCC Vital Statistics?

Hi there,

I'm putting together a table of "vital statistics" of all the programs that
competed in Tel Aviv, however I'm missing answers to 2 of the questions for
Crafty:

1) Opening book size?
Peter gave me what he said was a very rough guess (500K positions I believe),
but advised me to contact Bob directly. Bob, are you here?

2) Crafty's "birthday"?
I asked all the programmers to give me the year their program, (or an ancestor
of their program), first played a move. The record so far is Franz, who gave me
1982 as an ancestor of Fritz. Bob, which year would you like me to put for
Crafty? 1994, or 1982/3(or earlier?) (Cray Blitz)?

Many thanks in advance!

Best wishes,
John

Once I have all the answers, I'll post here for verification before sending to
ICGA Journal and/or Selective Search Newsletter.
