I've never tried it because the description of it didn't sound like it was a big advantage for me, but I think I've heard that other people like it. I don't have the url, sorry. But you're probably looking for something that isn't like Winboard, and Plus wouldn't be what you want in that case. I don't know why there aren't more programs that are free and do Winboard's job, that's always confused me. If you put out a program that did nothing but acted as an interface like Winboard, and didn't even have the ability to play games online, there would still be allot of people who'd be glad to use it. Because as good as Winboard is, you can get tired of looking at it after a while when you use Winboard engines often enough. Pete
