Some programs have a different take on a fixed depth of say, 7 ply, most notably in how much extensions they do. You may find other differences as well, depending on the programs you choose. So you may have to do some analysis on each program before starting and see if there is anything you can do to level the extensions and any other factors that may skew the results. Cheers, Chuck
