These programs are all part of a 6 CD set, "The Millenium World Champion Super
Package" which is sold by ICD, and other dealers.  It also includes some earlier
versions of Shredder.  I'm satisfied that I got my money's worth for this one. I
haven't seen Shredder 4.0 advertised for sale separately.

I can't really give a good answer to your second question; Genius and Nimzo are
strong programs, but I don't have enough information to compare them directly
with Fritz6.  I was just making the point that for your $100, you get several
programs.

Best Regards,

Marc
