Subject: Power Chess 1.0

 Digging for some old chess programs i opened POWER CHESS 1.0 after many years.
But when i tried to make it play against Shredder 8.0, an unpleasant suprise was
waiting me:
 Power Chess 1.0 consumed all CPU resources, so Shredder was running with ~13
kN/second (Actually it was Run386.exe that was working all the time and used
around 78% of CPU).

 Does anyone know any solution for this? I mean to play with Power Chess 1.0
against another engine (on the same PC). A good solution is if there is a
program that pauses(prevents them from using CPU resources) some other programs
(Run386.exe) for a while and then starts them again.

 Also a trick like Chessmaster 5000, where after CM5000 makes a move you have to
press HELP->"About Chessmaster" and then you have full power for other engines,
would be also ideal.
