choose between playing with Fritz and playing on playchess.com?

This utility allows automatic starting of Fritz 7 or 8 without having
to press Space or make a mouseclick into the startup screen.
Simply copy ´StartFritz.exe´ to the same folder where you have your
´ChessProgramX.exe´ (where X means 7,8 or even 9 :-)), and change your
Fritz-shortcut in the startmenu (or on desktop)from ´ChessProgramX.exe´
to ´StartFritz.exe´ - or create a new shortcut for it.

´StartFritz´ searches the current directory for any ´ChessProgramX.exe´,
starts this program and simulates pressing a Space by sending this
keycode to the startup screen, so the Fritz-GUI is starting immediately.

You can also use it to automatically go to the PlayChess server -
in this case you have to add ANY parameter after the program name,
e.g. ´StartFritz.exe server´ (or anything else you want).

Hint: If you want to exit Fritz, don´t simply close the window with
Alt-F4 (or with a mouseclick to the close button), because in this
case the startup screen would appear again (and so far I´ve not
found a solution for avoiding this). You should better quit Fritz
with the menu ´File Exit program´ (or even create a shortcut
for this), which immediately closes all windows and exits Fritz.
