I currently do not sell diep. So it is not commercial. Selling winboard versions
would be like getting paid 1 euro an hour, so it is not worth the effort. There
are however plans to release a diep version for windows + interface end of 2004.

This time i would only sell a few versions of diep when there is a clear update
system online for it. So that everything works transparant. Such systems are not
there yet.

So if released diep will run in its own interface, the engine cannot be loaded
in others of course (like fritz cannot get either). If i would do that i would
be busy fulltime now avoiding all tricks to win from opponents in other ways
than sportive ones. In that respect the computer chess world is so so sick,
thanks to a few companies and 'testers' who tolerated for payment everything,
that i will not even start a discussion about it.
