I checked the ChessBase site but the only Comet engine currently available is
B00.  Cometa96 is available for download but it is the DOS version.  Fritz 5.32
is my first copy of Fritz so I don't have access to any of the older engines
although prior to 5.32 they would probably have been 16bit engines anyway.  A97
came on the CD.  Do you have any idea where I could get the 32bit eng and dll
files for A96?

I assume you are also running NT.  I know that 95/98 are the platforms of
choice, but it seems that some software has hard coded hooks into some of the OS
features and because of this, ports to NT don't always work.
