Hi Dann, I have to disagree about that clone strength must be always
near the strength of the cloned program.
May be you remember Siboney which was a (very)dumbed down Pepito clone?
In fact it's 'quite clever' from a cloners POV to start with a much
weaker version as the the original program. (Did not happen often
though so far ;)
