The new version 1.01 does not work for older w32 computers (non-sse). Version 1.00 worked.

Thanks to Charles Browne, I am now able to use 1.01.
The book that comes with Critter has to be renamed/hidden in order for Critter to work with "old" non-sse CPUs. So it seems Critter works with non-sse CPUs, but its book does not.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Critter won't run on a 16-bit CPU either
But seriously, there are some floating point computations in Critter, and my compiler is set to produce Pentium III compatible code. Which means the compiler is free to insert SSE-1 code anywhere it deems appropriate.
On anything older than PIII its performance would suck anyway, because modern engines depend quite heavily on large L2(L3) CPU caches.

The change should be perceivable only in infinite analysis or with very long TC. Depths reached with IPON time control should not be affected at all.

Thanks for the info, I will substitude Critter 1.0 with 1.01 from now on for the IPON
