Those are the ones that are visible. There was yet another one, but for the
life of me, I don't recall the name.  Vincent might remember...  it was playing
on ICC a few months ago and claimed to be a 'new' program.  A new program that
matched the most recent version of crafty nearly 100% when we tested some of
his games..  :)
