I have never made a separate custom version for anyone. I do know that Prof. Chen
made a custom version for me on at least one occasion.  Also I remember that 
the author of Stone once made a version that would attempt to detect my program.
Years ago I played 3,3 points exclusively and so was easy to detect. However 
the very year that Stone added the detection mechanism just happened to be the 
first year I abandoned the 3,3 point!
