You write that auto232 tends to create problems. When you signed that open
letter against ChessBase some time ago, which accused them of manipulating with
the autoplayer, I tried to understand the technical side of it and downloaded
your source from Gambitsoft.com. From my practical experience, the ChessBase
autoplayer works rather stably and elegant, while your code does the following
thing:

taken from your mfc_a232.h:

#define  AUTO232_STARTSEARCH_MSG  (WM_USER+WM_AUTO232+1)

You are hardcoding Windows messages! What if any other program running does the
same? You get the weirdest crashes. You must use RegisterWindowsMessage()
instead.
