Attempts will be made to try to autoplay the CM. Another possibility is through the internet or using Ebbi's autoplayer. Both Remi's and Ebbi's made it possible to auto232 Winboard and other programs which were not designed to comply with auto232. I never mentioned it at this point as with even CM7K I'm not sure what the actual engine file is called as it don't appear as clearcut as with other programs. Sarah.
