Well I can tell you, I'm very happy with Hiarcs7.32. (For the very nice upgrade price). I encourage all to avoid the temptation to buy products from companies that refuse to offer a discount for continued loyalty to their product. I definitely will NOT get Shredder at the full price. I hope the extra profit is worth all the sales they won't make too the customer's who can control their impulses - Well at least they got me for Genius2, 4, 5 & 6... mrslug - the chess software addict!
