Any idea what computers the "commercial" programs are running on?
Good to see DT II in action again!! Are any of the names pseudonyms
for Mephisto Genius, CM 4000, or Hiarcs - I assume not as I don't see
the programmers names.
Look forward to seeing the games - see if we get any mates in
18 from DT II.
