Hi all: Looking at the posts here, today and other days, I suddenly realized that there is not anymore the kind of posts you still could find in older days, here or in paper magazines, the kind of articles or posts saying something like "program X stinks". In short, It looks like there are not bad or even mediocre programs available, As a friend of mine say of automotive industry: "in these days every car is a good car... car manufacture is an already dominated technology". In older times you did find bad cars. Cars that went stray the first week after purchasing them. Cars with all kind of weird sounds of loose parts. Engines that overheated or overeated gass. Etc. Same with chess engines? Exception made of definitively lousy engines produced for going in a Cd with 123 other programs for kids, can you say any of the engines that we know from commercial or amateurs programers could be qualifuid as "bad"? Is it, already, a dominatede technique? Are overthere so well know general heuristic that, provided you work accurately, you cannot but produce a "strong program"? Questions... Fernando
