Pierre, please note this, if you want Bringer to be a smaller than maximized size just reach with your mouse pointer to the lower right hand corner of the maximized window, then click and drag Bringer till it is the desired size. I think that Bringer will then meet all your requirements very well. And I can almost promise that it is stronger than all of the other programs suggested, it's even stronger than Ychess and I say that even though I like Ychess allot. Pete
