Hi Reinhard,

it seems you´ve forgotten one _important_ thing:

The mentioned download links to Arena files in the Winboard-forum
have been posted there by Christopher Conkie _himself_ !!!
And he _is_ one member of the Arena team, which "would not like such
direkt links to their software" - somehow strange, isn´t it?

Regards,
Franz.
