Anyone know release date or any info on Genius 5? I heard it will be for Dos
and Windows this time.

You're right - a CD ROM with Genius5 for Windows, Genius5 for DOS, a
(quote) 'much bigger opening book', games database, D/3D graphics. I
believe Genius3 will also be on the disk!?

Richard also intends to bring out a disk version shortly after, but that
will just have Genius5 for Windows and the larger opening book on it -
i.e. no games database.

Date is currently aimed as 'late November' - it was intended mid-Nov,
but has apparently been delayed slightly.

Hiarcs5 will also come out late November.

Shit, I hate this.
Sorry, don't want to start a new chapter with topic copy-protection...
