Hi Korner,

No confusing! look at www.dgt.nl amd will see what I mean. DGT does have an
Driver for the DGT-board for all windows-programs. For each program you have to
write special ini-files. For Genius 4,5 and the Chessmaster and for Powerchess
the inifiles are released (for the DGT-board).

I just ask, if it could be possible to write a similiar driver, where this
Donninger-code (winauto232) is build in. I don't know if it possible, but it
should be woth thinking about it, don't you think so?

I hope this makes the idea more clear. I also hope that some programers do like
this idea.

Best greetings,
Hannu Wegner
