So how can you say they >are similar???? Hello Laurence, This is going to come as quite a shock to you, so perhaps you should sit down while I state the following information: In the manual with Hiarcs 7.32, and on the program itself, it gives the formula for hash-table megs to be the same as Fritz 5.32. As for the SSDF testing of Hiarcs 7 against Fritz 5.32, they both, I believe, were given 64 megs for hash-tables. Also, the recommended megs for hash-tables on Hiarcs 7 is 64. Mel >Laurence
