I don't think that your approach is likely to succeed: - before Auto232 there was no standard. None of the commercial guys even talked about this, there were always rumors about proprietary autoplayers to gain competitive advantage by testing against competitors. - it's hard enough to keep Auto232 in the present form as a default in commercial programs, e.g. just look at the Fritz 5 and Rebel 10 discussions. - Probably nobody will take the pains to retrofit your "hyatt autoplayer" onto Genius, Rebel, M-Chess, Hiarcs, Fritz, Shredder, Nimzo, ... An autoplayer that exclusively works with Crafty and Nero is worthless to me. Moritz
