Hello Tom,
I don't own Shredder so I can't argue with what the name is.  I do own Fritz
5.32 and Fritz 5 and Fritz 6 and I know the name is not Fritz because it says
it's Fritz 6 right on the CD.  Now if Shredder omitted that bit of information
when packaging the program I'm sure it's just an oversight.  Certainly you are
not claiming all Fritzs are the same and all Shredders are the same.  If whoever
is putting out this bit of information is purposefully being misleading then
shame on them.  What could possibly be gained by misleading the spectators as to
which program is playing?
