As I told you in another thread, it would be counter-productive that I write a special support for rs232 PC Boards, when this feature is already done in Rebel. The stand alone Chess Tiger is just a text engine, so it is not interesting to implement user level features of this kind in the stand alone version. And remember that while I work on such things I cannot work on the engine strength... Christophe
