Good Morning CCC, I used the Hyatt approach after my wife spent $200.00 trying to get her car fixed. The Hyatt approach is "keep it simple and fix the obvious problem". This straightforward common sense approach seems to work for almost anything in life. After a "Thirty eight point inspection" could reveal no obvious problem that would account for the engine start hesitancy, I merely cleaned the battery posts and filled the "maintenance-free" battery with fluid. A no-problem startup assured me that the Hyatt method works every time. Yes, we do have an honest mechanic and the $200.00 was the fee for other minor problem fixes and maintenance. Common sense is certainly refreshing to see in academics and Dr. Hyatt has , in conjunction with posters like Mr. Come (sorry about the accent) shown us that programs are not yet perfect and can not conceptualize difficult and indirect plans of attack. It was distressing that Junior 6 could not find the Queen knight-capture sacrifice continuation of the last chess problem posted by Come yesterday. I will, however await the arrival of Junior 6 in the mail with great expectation and accept its' shortcomings. None of my other programs found that move even though Hiarcs 7.32 considered it for one second about a minute into the search. Even Crafty 17.07 didn't find the designated move. I am sure that Bob won't rest now until he has the problem fixed. May all your days be happy and may the market go to 13000 by June 2000. In computer chess, Tim Frohlick
