I refuse to hash this out with "you", Peter, in the CCC forum.  Again your
"don't confuse me with the facts" attitude is quite apparent.  Read _ALL_ the
messages and then, perhaps, reply (if you must.)

Dr. Hyatt asked specifically about Xeref, a program that he's seen running on
both chess.net, and for a _limited_ (and fully documented time) on FICS under
the EvilSilicon account.

This has nothing to do with the ArticChess engine (which I call simply "evil"
now.) An excerpt of my original message:

----
*-> Shredder3.0 as well as a very
*-> highly modified crafty v17 series called Xeref, is responsible for the
*-> standard and blitz ratings above (for the most part.)  EvilSilicon is an
*-> engine that plays decently in short blitz (but manages to lose most blitz
*-> games against top competition) but is rather strong in lightning.

No, I believe you accomplished this quite efficiently by your lonesome.
