Re: >2)---   The Nimzo99 does not have any table bases !  If you want it to use
table bases you have to buy another program :-)      Same with Junior 5.  If you
want to run auto 232 mode you have to buy another program :-)   If you want to
analyze databases you have to get them from some other program :-)
