To test CM8000 or any version of CM is a very ardous task without AUTO232 or
some kind of network connection.  I wish that the team of CM would include some
type of network connection or AUTO232, I understand that auto232 is not perfect,
but what else is there?  I don't blame SSDF if they refuse to test CM, I think
they should boycott testing any chess engine which forces the tester to do the
test manually.  It is a very painful job because some of us have jobs and other
things to do besides sitting in front of 2 computers and manually entering the
moves.  I boycott buying any version of CM until the day some type of auto232 or
network version is implemented.

Laurence
