Good day everyone: To Whom it all may concern,/ I would like to know why
cant crafty with a chess interface be created by chess programmers, it
was done in the past, Version/14.13? In order to get interface working
there was a bitmap font that was created for that version,and it works
real good on the Mac.Please Let me say this. Apple is not going out of
business anytime soon. So why cant a better version be created for the
Mac, like the old version. The version for the other PC are constantley
being updated. As for the Mac it seems like a diffcult task to port
crafty with a chess interface and a stronger engine. Again it was done
in the past.
Ps. As for Mr R. Hyatte, no ofense towards you sir. Since you have
experience and know how about crafty and done exstenseive reasearch for
the Pc verson, and all other version. But for the Mac port it seems to
be a stumbling block. Where as you have told me that You could not get
hold of a Mac, Im pretty shure if you ask the right people, You can get
all the Mac you want. I think the challenge is to diffulcult for you to
undertake. Or the Mac platform is to hard for to port a Mac version of
crafty with an interface. From what i was told that the port for Crafty
and the chess interface was done by programmer who was a second, or a
third rate programmer, compared to you. But Then to, You may not have
any interest whatsoever to want to take the time and try somthing new.
Mr. hyatte this is my personal opion, and not to be disrepectful towards
you. If so im very sosrry and please forgive me.
