Hi Christophe,

I will check the WB configuration for the Chess Partner GUI. When your program
is available I make a message about configuration in my webpage. Also good is a
little rubric in the webpage of ED or Lex ! I think 5-10 examples are good
enough for user which have interest.

... In my opinion ...

BTW:
I have the same problem with ChessVision. The GUI is very good and I got for 6
months a CD from Microvision for an review. I try ChessVision but I have
problems with the configuration files. I will say I am not perfect and I am not
a programmer. I have not make a review about ChessVision (in German: schlechtes
Gewissen). I think I must have more time but I have not the time :-(

Best
Frank
