I'm sure it probably is.  The book is not what I was referring to, however.  I
was referring to the issues such as Fritz sending 'new' and 'force' commands a
lot, as well as anything else it may be doing wrong.  I'm not sure whether these
things have been fixed or not.  If they haven't been fixed yet, I don't think it
would be a great idea to put too much faith in any results achieved within the
Fritz interface.

I agree. :)  In this case, full speed ahead. :)

(Will it use the new 6-piece stuff, too? :)
