Glad you like it.

We've got at least 1 more comming, and I strongly expect a couple more.  It
depends on their schedule, when they can find the time to look for the program,
gather it all up, copy it from tape etc. kind of thing.

There are still lots and lots of chess programs that we haven't tracked down.

Same for the authors (to get genuine copies and posting permission.)

It takes quite a while and is rather tedious hunting for them.  We've only got a
few people doing this in their spare time.


There are a lot of chess programs that are worth saving.  It's just that it
takes time, and the older ones are the ones most likely to disappear.  A lot of
the early ones already have.


I really like the older stuff more than the newer stuff.
