Hi Jonas,

>can lead the way for a solution to the DOS "problem".

to clarify that - winboard-engines are not DOS-programs... they have nothing to
do with dos, many of them won't run under pure DOS - They use just a text based
environment under Windows... There is nothing wrong with this - they have a
graphical user interface which will do the user communication...
if you argument like that you might also say - the fritz, chessmaster or tiger
engines are dos programs... is that true ?! :)

Greets, Thomas
