I don't want to disillusion you at all, but I had run a couple of games between
Sargon 5 and Comet, Comet did a pretty good job beating up on Sargon, so I don't
think Sargon stands a chance against CM6000.

But for what it's worth, it's probably worth running the games anyhow just to
see some good games.  Sargon's a cool old program, but figure that CM will
probably be a steam roller in comparison.

For some reason I can't find any game files from Comet/Sargon games so I must
not have saved them, too bad, they were very time consuming.
