Sounds like a legal quagmire if I ever heard of one. Fortunately there is a new piece-recognition style board out for or from the Fritz machine people that should be interfacable to others. Unlike the Novag universal board which I believe does not have piece recognition. My main need is to get one of these so I can interface it to my own program since I am getting tired of entering all the moves via keyboards. Since you "agreed not to sell the Smartboard after July 1st", is that July 1 of 1997 or July 1 of 1998? If July 1 of 1998, could I pick up the phone and call 800-645-4710 to buy it now? And thanks for all the detail. What a shame that such a good technology gets so bogged down in this kind of swamp. --Stuart
