But STDIO is IMO a bit more portable to different platforms. of course you are right about stdio being more portable. but since checkerboard is a windows-only program, i didnt care very much about portability :-) besides, a specified function interface is portable too. the only thing i can think of which is bad is that i need to change lots of things if i plan to change my protocol. with stdio you can just add a new command which old engines may not be able to parse, and to which they can answer that they dont know it. i have to go looking in the dll if a function is there, and that is a bit more overhead. best regards martin
