The old Fritzes were in assembler. Rewriting them to 32 bits would mean an entire rewrite. For Junior, which is supposedly C++, it should be easier. Amir, are you reading this? ;-) I wonder why the 16-bit versions don't work under WinXP anyway. WinXP is still able to run 16 bit programs, isn't it? -- GCP
