My personal opinion is that it would be EXTREMELY difficult to make further progress based on the present Genius program structure. I remember Richard Lang saying this in one interview that I read about him some years back. His programs are very unique in their structure. It was this type of programming tequnique that allowed the Genius programs to be so poweful on relatively slow computers. Now that the computers are so much quicker, the advantages of this type of search structure are somwhat dim. I believe that if Mr. Lang wanted to make futher noticable progress, he would have to re-write his program from scratch, using different, more contemporary methods. He is obviously a very talented man, and I am sure he could do this if he wished. Pete P
