I'm using the Meyer-Kahlen/Donninger Windows autoplayer and I have this problem: It works without fault as the Master, but when it plays as a Slave, and the Master is the old DOS autoplayer, it plays one game successfully. When it's over, the DOS Master does not start another game but just sits there. If the Master is another Windows autoplayer, no problem. When the game is over (timeout), I know that the procedure is for both sides to save the game, setup a new game, and after some delay the master should move. All this happens, but the master doesn't move. Debugging the state of the slave, it's in an idle state waiting for commands. What's wrong ? Amir P.S. I worked around this by having the master play as black. It's a very easy change, and also more efficient since the Windows autoplayer can end a game immediately if it's over, while the DOS autoplayer must wait for the silly timeout to expire. Amir
