One other thing you might consider:  how fast is your computer and how much RAM
does it have?  "Fast searchers" like Fritz do better with more speed and more
RAM.  I have a Pentium 133 with 16 MB RAM and find that Hiarcs makes better use
of those limited capabilities than Fritz.  If I had a Pentium 500 with 128 MB
RAM, it might be a different story.
