I'm sorry, I don't understand what you said.  But Crafty isn't shareware,
although I don't know if Bob would mind you making a donation.

I don't think Chess positions can be copywrited, it probably isn't practical.

I'd like to volenteer Jonathan Lee to do this.  You wouldn't need  to put them
on a floppy, it would be more practical to put the epd positions on a website,
and maybe sort them by the people who submitted them and how that person
clasifies them.

Maybe have a homepage with links to sub pages, one for Leonid, one for Sune
Larson, etc...
