Hello, a few days ago i asked for delphi and UCI: how to listen at stdin while calculating a move. Now I tried to fix the problem by following the given hints. My application is NOT a console application, so i tried to listen at stdin with a delphi tread object. It works in normal mode, but not if i start my engine with the Fritz7 GUI. Then I tried the given hints with the createthread() command: ****************************************************** unit Main; interface uses [...] const [...some const declarations] type[...some type declarations] var[...some other variable] Threadid : THandle; implementation [...] procedure listen_sdtin; begin // listening at stdin and processing the commands end; [... many other functions for calculating the best move ...] initialization createthread(nil,0,@listen_sdtin,nil,0,Threadid); // creating the tread to listen stdin. ****************************************************** but now I get a "access violation" (I hope I translated correctly) when the engine starts calculating, there is no problem while identyfing the engine. The problem is hard to find, because with the Fritz GUI I can't debug the program. But there are problems with delphi threads and the VCL, you must use the synchronize() command. So I thought this may be the problem and now I made a console application - but the same problem: access violation. There are no errors when compiling. Any Ideas? Regards Martin
