Thanks!

It is not I will make it of course. I have to polish
a couple of things to make it work in Winboard better than
now, let the user change the hashtablesize and the logfile etc.
and then we can exchange executables!

Then it's better than my source code...
I used this to learn C. I cannot even say that I know all the
features of the standard library!. As a hobby (I am not a programmer)
3-4 years ago I decided to
write a PGN reader as a small project (In the long run I wanted
that so I could search a database in the way I wanted).
Then I realized that I need a move generator for that.
When I had the move generator it was too tempting to add a
simple search and see what happens... then...
One thing lead to another.
I don't think I could ever make source code public, readable and useful.
Maybe parts of it.

No, I did not write the pgn reader!
