I would say you would have to do most of the popular commercially available
software. Which programs, Rebel 10 and CM6K are not on the SSDF so I would
include them in the top 10. I would say you would have to do the top 10 with
Rebel 10 and CM6K also and cut out the 9 and 10th program on the SSDF and Fritz
5 and only do Fritz 5.32, same for other programs like that.
