There seem to be two SMP versions? Which is the right one?

Can someone remind me what SMP stands for? (Something Multi-processor I assume)
Hi,
sorry for the mess I have now cleaned up the page and there is only one version to download, i.e. this one:

http://www.ascotti.org/programming/ches ... Thomas.zip

SMP usually stands for Symmetric Multi Processing and denotes a platform that supports two or more identical processors, usually able to access a shared memory. I've sometimes also seen this term explained as Simultaneous Multi Processing, referring to software ability to leverage two or more processors at the same time. (I'm using it just for the beta anyway, and it will be eventually dropped from the name.)
