Will,

when I writing an chess programm and see the source code from Prof. Dr. Robert
Hyatt and see that hash-tables or the winboard (not the right word)
"configuration" is OK then I writing an eMail to Bob and ask for using this
hash-tables and winboard konfiguration.

I must writing an eMail to Bob, it is not from me. And then I will looking in
the code for hash-table and winboard configuration, looking that I can make this
better or not better.

When I copy the complete chess program from Bob is this not my chess programm
this is an copy and this is not interesting for me, because it is not my
creation. And when I copy 50% is this not my chess programm. When I copy logic
configuration (hash-table and winboard configuration) then is this not an copy
from Bob´s crafty then is this an big help from Bob`s Crafty.

Why I must then all this make new when this is for an chess programm logic (my
example with hash-tables and winboard configuration).

I don´t know what Gabriele Müller make in Voyager, but I think this is not an
Crafty.

And when this an Crafty is, this is not fair and then I understand Bob, but
Voyager is an private programm an experimentel private program. I writing many
eMails with Gabi in the last year and Gabi make an new version and writing this
is new and this is better or not better. This person working with passion on
this projekt.

In the tournament which I play with Christian and Kai we will play with freeware
and private programs. This is good for found errors in the games and good for
the programmer ! And I am happy when I can help !

The results are interesting but not so importent.
This is my last statement and I delate Voyager not from this tournament !

Kind regards
Frank
