I would call a standard Windows program something to the effect of Wordpad, or
the Bringer Chess program or Netscape Navigator, all having the Standard Windows
configurtion where you have the Title bar with all of it's standard features and
then a line of pulldown menus, and then below that the program.

I have no objection to Chessbase's interfaces, they work ok and they look good,
but they are somewhat less convenient than what _I_ consider a standard Windows
program.

So I may be wrong about how I define standard, how do you define a standard
Windows program?
