I talked to the company about it and they said I should get the update version (which they offered for free). I haven't seen that yet, so I can't comment. The version I have (1.0 I think) has display problems and nearly every feature has something wrong with it. Not to mention that it makes illegal moves occasionally and misses really obvious plays (like mates in 1 or 2). I did find that getting out one of the feedback windows fixed the color scheme so that I could at least see the pieces. -- Paul Vaughan, MCC CAD Program | ARPA: vaughan@mcc.com | Phone: [512] 338-3639 Box 200195, Austin, TX 78720 | UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!milano!cadillac!vaughan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I spent from $3 to $10 today to pay interest on the national debt.
