(Subject: Two program version running at the same time
and playing against each other.)

Thanks, but my question was: could you please give me a hint
how to program this (preferably without using Winboard).
I am a reasonably experienced C++ programmer, but I have never
programmed any communication between independent programs
running at the same time. I do not worry about memory, since
I have 128 MB and much smaller hash tables.
If you have any programming experience with this problem,
please let me know which system routines you use and how.
