Subject: To Sarah and John: CM8K+auto232, maybe a workaround

Go up one level in this thread


Sarah, this is probably an unnecessary debate as CM is in its final testing
phase. Engineering usually does not want to add functionalities to a beta and it
makes sense but maybe there is a way to satisfy both of you.

John, have the development team ever considered using a third-party auto232
interface ? Several of them exist and, what may be very interesting for you,
some are provided as winboard-engines which is something you already support for
CM8K.

Maybe, if you can get an agreement with the author (he provides it for free),
there is just a possibility to integrate the auto232 winboard engine in the
package, after some test/tweak/configuration and documentation you can maybe
claim a experimental auto232 support in your product without much development
(or maybe least in a patch).

The CM development team can have a look to http://www-leibniz.imag.fr/~coulom/
Extract from Remi Coulon page:
"   wbengine0046.tar.gz (07.18.2000) Connect a winboard engine to an auto232
opponent
    a232eng0046.tar.gz (07.18.2000) Connect an auto232 engine to winboard "

I do not say it is very easy or a perfect solution but just trying to be
constructive here.
