Hallo Eduard.

Danke für Ihre freundlichen Wörter -- wir sind glücklich, daß Sie Palm HIARCS
genießen.  Vergessen Sie nicht, der neuen Version zu überprüfen.

Meine Entschuldigungen, wenn ich wie ein deutschsprechender Affe klinge.  :)

>>to perhaps see a better alternative move.
>>
>>3) Move Hints are now almost always available (except in analysis mode where

>>move hints.
>>
>>4) Some piece graphics have been improved in multiple board views. In
>>particular the knights in both Classic and Challenger piece styles have been
>>enhanced. Thanks to Bryan Whitby for the new Challenger knight.
>>
>>5) There is now a separate indicator that the board has been flipped. When

>>hand corner is set. This information is available in all board sizes.
>>
>>6) A number of other improvements to areas such as clocks, typewriter input,
>>book move display.
>>
>>You can download the update from http://www.hiarcs.com by selecting the Palm
>>Chess download link to visit our download page.
>>
>>Simply install it over the previous version, if you are a registered
>>customer the product will remain fully registered.
