Bruce,

I know that my English is not perfect -I am Spanish-, but I hope everyone would
be able to understand the sentence 'as far as I think'. For me CM6000 is clearly
an 'American' program, since Mindscape is an American company, and who pays the
money for the development of the program. If one day Michael Jordan plays for
Barcelona Basketball :-) the titles eventually won will belong to the
Catalonian/Spanish/European team, in spite of having a decisive American player.

The reason for posting my message was only to get new visions for my idea. So
that, anyway, thanks for your answer.

Tomas.
