I am not sure this is always a valid comparison, although it might be, without knowing the internal workings of the programs. Example--in Rebel Century I believe that adjusting the user-adjustable parameters will simply modify the internal parameter (not seen by the user) in the program by a certain percentage up or down. The user doesn't know for what that internal parameter is--it might change from program version to program version, although the 'default' adjustable parameters may look the same. If the internal parameter has changed, the fact that the adjustable parameters look identical to the user may not mean the programs are identical in weighting material and positional aspects during evaluation. I don't know if CMxxxx programs directly use the exact settings the user is able to modify, or if those user-adjustable settings cause the program to adjust some internal figures up or down, similar to the Rebel situation. The adjustment might not be by percentage, as in the Rebel case, but by some scaling factor not obvious to the user. --Steve Boak
