no - i would have to address all these minor problems there are - i really just
wanted to write a checkers program, the interface stuff is only a big nuisance
to me. and i don't want to ask for money for a program which i know should be
better.
another reason is that there does not seem to be much money to be made with
checkers programs - i guess this from the fact that older programs like WCC,
colossus are not being developed any more, murray cash of nexus also has put
nothing new on his webpage for over a year. the only two commercial programmers
are adrian millet of sage, which has the nicest interface of all & roberto
waldteufel (wyllie). so i rather stick to my day-time job and do some
programming when i get the itch :-)

cheers
