Michael:
You have all my simpathy, but I cannot wonder how an experimented chess program
consumer like you:
a) Does not wait the 1,xx version of them instead of running home like a child
to install the shit as they are delivered the very first day.
b) And to do tat with CM stuff, you knew had an awful history of misfits.

Of course I do the very same thing all the time ...:-) Thanks for he warning
Fernando
