Hi Mike.
Can't find 80023 anymore... lost some other versions also I'm afraid.
Like I said in another post, I lost count of the F8 versions somehow..
You're right it's a pitty that 'Fritz' doesn't change the filenames like the
other ones you mentioned.
If we see about Fritz8 in a tourney, match or ranking-list, the question we ask
is always: "what version was used?"..

About Shredder 7.04, now_that_was a major upgrade imho.
And yes, the 6 Paderborn version too :)

We can see the results at the SSDF to see those improvements... too bad we can't
with the Fritz 7/8 (9) versions...

Rick
