This was an interesting post. I'm not a unix guy so I don't understand the difference between xboard/zippy and robofics. If you run winboard/zippy on an NT or Windows '95 system, you don't have to attend the computer, you can just log it on and go to bed. Depending upon how stable your server is, and how stable your connection is, it might run for days before it is disconnected. Zippy is a module that links in with Winboard. Its purpose is to interface a computer with winboard, so the computer can play automatically on any of the chess servers. It is pretty easy to write something that works with Zippy, and it would probably do what Stuart wants. bruce
