Again:

1. there is NO common auto232 interface for Windows, even less for 16
bit Windows.

2. the autoplayer is clean, the games were fair.

No. There is a demand about autoplayers being made available. It is
impossible to demand the use of an autoplayer that does NOT exist.

Of course. It would be impossible, because such a universal autoplayer
exists only in your mind.

Really...

I wouldn't dream of it. :)

No offense intended.

Come on, Thorsten. Don't play ping-pong. You show too much
hypersensitivity to be the author of, for instance, your answer to
Thoralf.
