I am not doing that. Have no time, and, as I am moving to other group inside MS, soon will have no large servers (that can be used over weekend). I beleive that for 6-man tables you have to use much more efficient backward algorithm developed by Stiller (I beleive all others used forward algorithm, as it is simpler to implement and debug). Also, 8-10Gb of RAM will be a great help, otherwise you'll have to use less efficient disk-oriented algorithms. And the latter means that you have to use 64-bit CPU as well as 64-bit operating system. Eugene
