Many thanks in >advance. ALex 1. I don't know how well it works in 64-bit environment. I am running 32-bit (I'll wait for SP1 of the Windows 64-bit, thank you), and I have no issues. 2. If you buy now, you will get 1.2, which is the first "official" release. This release should be fully functional - i.e. identified glitches fixed, egtb access, etc. 3. Download is not complicated. Pay for it (I use paypal), and you get a link to the download. Links for subsequent versions are emailed to you. If you miss an email, an email to the author squares things away. 4. This is not like Fruit, where everytime I reformat my HD I have to ask Joachim for a new unlock. 5. You can set the parameters to be as follows: Very Positional, Positional, Slightly Tactical, Very Tactical. Supposedly the Positional and Very Positional options are strongest. Positional is the default.
