Subject: Fruit 2.2 vs Toga II

CCC Friends,

I have heard that Toga is a Fruit clone.  I presume this was done with the
permission of the author, when Fruit was a free engine.  So, what is the
difference in style and capabilities between Fruit and Toga?  Is Toga a
"tweaked" Fruit, like Uri's Fruit version?

What makes Toga separate from Fruit?  I know from experience that Toga is a good
and strong engine, but the engine it was based on, Fruit, is really a top
engine, so one would expect that.  So, I am wondering, why should I have Toga on
my hard drive, if I have a much improved version of the engine it was derived
from (Fruit 2.2).  I mean no disrespect to the creator of Toga ... I am just
curious.  I have  Hiarcs 9, 8, 7, etc, and also Fritz 8, 7, 6, 5, but I only
tend to really play and analyze with the latest versions.  So, what has Toga got
that Fruit doesn't?  Does it have a different playing style, or is it just
perhaps Fruit 2.1+?

Thanks for any comments or insight.
