I purchased Shredder 9 because it is the only commercial software (to my
knowledge) available on Linux.  I purchased Shredder many years ago when it was
the only software to support true windowing.  But I have since left the M$ world
and Stefan is first again.  I have sent e-mails to Chess Assistant (at least a
couple of years ago) indicating that if they would support the Linux environment
I would also re-support their product.  Hasn't happened yet.  For Linux, SCID,
Crafty, and Shredder 9 are the way to fly.  And don't mention WINE.
