What I will do in the next release is remove the AUTO232 part (see menu OPT). Doing that the only consequence is that AUTO232 (which enables 2 computers connected with a cable to play automatic games) is not available anymore. AUTO232 is a separate commercial product mainly used by the SSDF and some computer enthusiasts who like to play automatic games between chess programs. I do that because I don't want the successor of Rebel9 to enter in the Swedish list (SSDF) for reasons I explained elsewhere in other threads. I will do that (excluding AUTO232 from Rebel) for at least one trial year. After that I will make up my mind again. - Ed Schroder -
