That's what I'm doing!

I read in and write exactly the same way that you do.

Yes. I was going to write a full GUI that could be run as a winboard engine
(apparently XiniX does this).  In fact at one stage I thought it may be cool to
write a Winboard / UCI component.  However, I found that as a Windows app (i.e.
not a console app) I got a access violation when using the standard i/o.  So I
plumped for the console app method and have had no problems at all.  Maybe I'll
write a GUI one day but I'm having too much fun writing the engine at the
moment!

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Steve
