Hi everybody. I had a great time playing around with EPD2 and Rebel Decade chess engine. They are nice (and free!) piece of softare and are worth people attention. While using the program, I noticed that the chess engine starts from the command line. I guess you can give some commands to it, so that it will analyze positions at a certain depth, time-length, etc. This would make it an ideal tool to be used for experimenting new ideas without having to write from scratch your chess-playing programs. I mean, you could embed it into your program and use it as a black box (you know what it does, but not how). Therefore I wonder if it is available a description of the parameters that need to be passed from the DOS command line in order to use the engine. Also it would great if would exist a compiled Unix version of the engine to be used in the same way (I don't dare to ask for the source code to compile it myself!). Thanks in advance.
