Hello Fabien.

You are rather generous with the use of "author" here and certainly more
tolerant than myself -- especially after the "introductory" Toga incident (i.e.
original release claimed as one's own work.)

Perhaps it takes a special type of person to endure the crap a GPL release
constantly brings forth -- I can't imagine dealing with as many illegal
crafty-clones as Dr. Hyatt has over the years.

Nevertheless, the greater portion of the computer-chess community appreciates
both your hard work and willingness to share your ideas and concepts with all.

Regards,
