You are right, it could be interesting to make a test of the free beta version of Rybka but yesterday late in the evening I received a mail from Vas in which he told me that Rybka 1.1 will be available in about a week. Bearing that in mind it wouldn't make sense to make a test of the free Beta-version. Hopefully there will be no more delays :-) Best regards Per
