And at present, that is just as >hard as writing your own xboard protocol support... But I hope it is possible. I think the most amateur programmers have not the time or maybe the knowledge to added important "WinBoard Options" (edit mode, analyse mode, move now) or the nalimov code in his programs. So I think the idea is good, but when I read what you wrote I think the idea is not really good ! Maybe Rémi Coulom can make this. When I understand 2 other programmer right made Rémi very good moduls. I believe availalbe on his webpage. The questions for you because a lot of other programmers say to me ... The code from Prof. Dr. Robert Hyatt is very good for understanding with excellent comments. Thanks for your answere. Have a nice day ! Best Frank
