Yes those programs are strong, but you thought Rebel 10 was number 1 before
Hiarcs 7, this was just your evaluation ? it would have to have been.

There are at least 6 programs for the top title, and Hiarcs will never be the
best in my eyes because of the cheap looking interface and especially those
pieces. But that has nothing to do with the strength of its play.

For interface I think Fritz and Junior have the best, followed by CM6K and
Rebel,the problem with rebel is that it is dos and sometimes I have to click the
mouse three times to open a menu or move a piece, I do not have problems with
other dos programs. So I do not think it is my mouse but the program, because
rebel Decade does the same thing and is even worse.
