CM8000 Pause operation I believe it was asked here recently how to pause then resume CM8000 analysis while retaining data. I note that in CM6000 that there were two such operations available which provided that feature: Pause, and Ctrl-E (Game Details window). They temporarily stopped the GUI and chess engine, so there was very little processor usage. After using them, then the Think Lines window continued the analysis in progress without interruption. Unfortunately in CM8000 the analogous Ctrl-G operation erases all analysis data, and the Pause operation does not pause the king engine as it should. Presumably the same kind of method(s) as used in CM6000 could be transferred to CM8000. I would also think that kind of interrupt would be built into the king engine via a simple flag bit or byte somewhere, so it would just be a matter of setting or clearing the flag bit/byte. The engine's author would presumably have to provide that information to the GUI programmers. WP
