Subject: CTT-3 / Ferret and other engines

Hi,

I saw some programs in this tournament which are not so well known to the
public. I would like to know if these programs will be published in some
way (free or commercial).

First of all I really would like to see Ferret available. And I think I am not
the only one who think like that. I also know that the question why Ferret is
not avalable to the public was asked sometimes before. But I try to ask one more
time. In my point of view it should be very simple to publish Ferret as an
engine. For example just as a winboard-engine or an UCI-engine (via
GambitSoft!?) or as an CB-Engine. I don't think that this is hard work anymore.
It would be so easy for Bruce Moreland to make some bucks. Please!! Bruce, you
have to publish your engine!! :-))


Then there are other engines as SearcherX, ChesterX, PostModernist, ShrikeX,
Tinker, Butcher, Hossa, Amateur, TerraPi, monsson and Celes which are not
available to the public.

Are there plans to publish these engines somehow? Some of these engines are well
known from the ICC. I already played against some of them. But to use them at
home is something much more interesting.

So any comments are wellcome!

Best greetings,
Hannu Wegner
