Well, for Fruit one has to know C. Quite a problem for an old Assembler-Hacker.
But in contrast to Frans Morsch I am in the meantime used to C.
Rybka is somewhat easier. There one can directly read the machine/assembler
code. No retranslation from C to Assembly is necessary :-)
Rybka is obviously written in C. It looks like gcc was used for compiling. The
code is not particullary well optimized. Maybe the Rybka team can buy from the
first royalities a professional one from Intel or Microsoft.
