He is how I became familiar with the program as he sent me the source (it was over 80,000 lines of FORTRAN IV in 1973 or so). Academia still shares such things regularly, although this has certainly changed in the last 10+ years. Otherwise, however, 0x88 would have been re-invented over and over had someone not published the idea and discussed it where others could see the idea for themselves and then use it in their "next year's ACM program." That is why I _still_ maintain that 90% of the aggregate computer chess advancements were academia-based. Because all academia-developed ideas have been published for all to see, increasing the body of computer-chess knowledge slowly but surely.
