Subject: AUTO232 question

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.
