      Usually I do not reply to Anons but this time I felt
      it would be useful to make an exception. And this for the
      simple reason that you are wrong in so far as the strange
      behaviour of Shredder 9 (under CB-GUI) and Shredder 9 UCI
      (under Shredder Classic GUI) can't be reproduced here. In
      both cases stated by you, Shredder 9 or the GUI behaves
      like all Windows programs. You must have a false working
      setup either with the chess gui's or the PC.
