This is a follow up of a posting in rgcc (auto232). The windows autoplayer code I wrote and which is already included in Shredder2 works fine in a LAN with WinNT. You don't need a serial cable any longer, although you can use it for the reason of compatibility with other programs supporting auto232. Unfortunaly Shredder2 is the only program supporting this right now, but the source code is available for free so I hope that there will be more programs soon. (Nimzo98 already uses my code but Chrilly has decided to discard the network option). I also hope that those programs will be released with the autoplayer included! To Bob Hyatt and anybody else who is interested: It should be no problem and not much work (<< 1 day) to include this autoplayer code in the WinNT version of Crafty. It makes the autoplayer much easier to use than the noname.com DOS driver which is included in the auto232 package. Most (>99%) of all the timing problems will be gone. If anybody is interested we can discuss more implementation details. Stefan Meyer-Kahlen
