Hi Jan,

My program, PostModernist, uses MTD(f). There are at least two others
I know of that use (or used to use) MTD(f): AnMon and Cilian.

There's a little bit of information about my program at:

http://www.doc.mmu.ac.uk/STAFF/A.Williams/postmodernist/postmodernist.html

On that page there's a link to a page by Aske Plaat who explains MTD(f)
in detail and gives some pseudocode.

I'm not sure I understand this question.
