You can down load them to the same computer you use for internet access, even if
it is a windows system.  Copy the program to a diskette.  The MacOS has had the
ability to read and write IBM format diskettes for a long time.

In the 'links' section of this message board is a link to Mac Chess Software.

I'm sorry to misimform you.  In 1984 Sargon lived.  In 1999 Sargon has gone the
