I do have a Zappa version, just like i do have a Deep Shredder9. I do not copy
illegally further DeepShredder9 nor Zappa 2.x versions.

The accusation is against the node count of Rybka.
Evidence has been clearly shown that deliberate manipulation happens
within i/o functions of Rybka with its nps.

So it is not a counting problem.

Zappa as you could have seen in the logfiles and in the posts of Cozzie
consistently gets 3.3 mln nps - 4 mln nps at 4 processors. Zappa obviously
has no counting problem nor a cloaked way to print his nps.

We are planning several releases. First we'll release DeepSjeng and a release of
Diep should follow soon.

For releases of Zappa you'll have to email Cozzie at his student account at
university of Illinois.
