I downloaded Winboard some time ago, but if I remember well, programmers were not encouraged in its documentation to connect it to their own programs, or at least were warned about the difficulties involved. I assume that I should first use Winboard in connection with my program, before considering using this auto232 protocol of Remi Colom, to which Tim Mann refers, or am I wrong? So far, my program (Queen) is a stand-alone Windows application. Leen Ammeraal http://home.wxs.nl/~ammeraal/
