At the link: http://amateurschach.in-trier.de/schach/download/autoplayer/boerger.htm one can find a software that should work as an adapter from auto232 to winboard. This allows a user to interface a program via serial port to winboard, and this way stright to, e.g., ICC or FICS. In this way it is now possible to interface any auto232 enabled program to any other on ICC. This could be used to play matches using ICC as a referee and to remove once for all any doubt about misbehaviors by any program. In this case the programs would not talk to each other directly, but to an dapter that talks to winboard that talk to ICC that talks to the remote system... If the system works, and if the ChessMaster Live (does it still exist?) site supports a decent ICS protocol, SSDF could even test ChessMaster on an automatic basis! What do you think about it: Ed, Stefan? Would you trust such a system if it works? regards Franz
