I had the old DOS version and upgraded and I really like CA 4.0.  It is a nice
windows GUI program.  You can download a demo program to see what it is like.
I would recommend CA 4.0 over Chessbase.  But that is only my opinion.
Chessbase light is free and can be downloaded from www.chessbase.com.  Try
chesslight against the demo CA 4.0 version and see.
