Err.... can we also request Chessbase for a Junior6 demo? I certainly don't mind
a cut-off at 20-odd moves and since NO workaround is possible as you have
pointed out....

I have purchased Fritz5.32, Hiarcs7.32, and Fritz6 in 1999...would like to try
out Junior 6 demo before buying that.

Maybe Frederic can help recommend to Chessbase to offer a Junior6 demo...
Thanks and Merry Christmas
