He may post a >reply or you can visit his page: http://come.to/SCCS. He runs a >great site. Hello Chris! I have tried very hard to get Shep to include CM6000 in his tournament. The only way at this point he would put it in is if CM6000 defeats MCP8 in his qualifier. I sincerely believe he is wrong on this and should include CM6000 in his tournament so we can evaluate how it does against the top programs. CM6000 is rated quite high on the SSDF list - are they so far off the mark on CM6000? Shep should put it in and let us find out what happens. Regards, Mel> >Best Regards, >Chris Carson
