I'd be willing to pay good money for it and I'm guessing a decent number of others would as well. Even if it were an Xboard engine only, it would still IMHO be worth buying. I'm not disparaging your generousity, but it seems to me that without monetary rewards there is no incentive for commercial programmers to bring their engines to Linux. I also run Win4Lin, but I find native programs easier to use and thus would rather have the engines targeted as actual Linux programs. Anyway, just my 2-cents. regards, --tom
