Many thanks Tom! I'm sure a lot of people appreciate this. As with the old
version (1.42) I compiled a Mac-binary and sent it to you in email. I hope
that you can put the binary to your homepage as well, so Mac-users with no
compiler on their system can download it.

While compiling I noticed the 2 following things:

1. You changed "int main()" to "void main()" for a reason unknown to me.
   Afterall the first version is the correct one. :) (The Mac-Compiler gives
   an error for "void main()" in strict-mode.

2. I got warnings (possible unwanted semicolon) for lines of the following
kind:

if (pawn_rank[LIGHT][1] == 6);
			else if (pawn_rank[LIGHT][1] == 5)
				r -= 2;
			else
				r -= 4;

No biggie if that's really the thing you wanted to code though. :)


I noticed that the NPS for 'bench' in the 1.5 version differs a lot from the
older version:

1.42: 44628
1.5 : 58196


Kind regards,
