Thanks... maybe I have kept it at my other computer.

But then again, I would'n have the improvements of the new adapter. Although I
have no idea what they were anyway. Btw. I've noticed that Little Goliath 2000a
doesn't ponder anymore too (I think it did with earlier adapters).

I'm bored and tired of all that ini-editing, adapter updating (which may turn
out wrong) and similar things. This spoils much of the fun; sometimes I think
those preparations - and my occasional trial & error problems - take more time
than I actually spend whith the engine afterwards.

This is an enormous barrier for amateur computerchess, because a majority of
anti-nerd type users won't do that at all. Theoretically, Der Bringer with it's
own great GUI should benefit from that; unfortunately he's not among the top in
strength - yet.
