maybe I dont understand the concept right (coz i was not aware of winboard
adapter before).
if you can play with winboard adapter rightfully then why the need of winboard
native engine?
I dont have the downloadable version of winboard adapter (or whatever it is ).
i was wondering if crafty (the winboard version) can play with the winboard
adapter? ......if so, is there any differance?

I mailed the author of lil goliath.....
