Since everything is WinBoard in CM8K, there is a separate engine file now, and it is called "The King.exe". However, there is quite a bit of security code to ensure that the engine program is not used outside Chessmaster. I don't know if the auto232 program needs to be "in control" or if it, as someone has suggested, can be imported as a "personality". This all remains to be seen, but I'm keeping my hopes up that one of you more intelligent and persistent folks will figure it out. jm
