Vincent,

I see UCI as the way of breaking this monopoly - I think it already has done.

Sure - I think Fritz's GUI is OK but does have its problems.

Sides?  Who's side?  I was called a hypocrite and felt that this was out of
order since all I was trying to do was give potential consumer feedback.

As I said I use Shredder Classic GUI all of the time - so naturally yes I did

All the best for the launch of Zappa and Diep,
