Go up one level in this thread


FYI: I am adding database server capabilities to the freeware
chess position/game database program CDB.  This will allow
programs to connect to CDB via a simple stream socket and
make queries about positions in FEN notation and get
statistics and annotations back, among other things.  The
server feature is present in rudimentary form in the
current revision (1.2); to see the present command set,
execute File->Server in CDB, use telnet to connect to
the port on localhost, and type "help".  I hope that this
feature provides a quick and easy way for chess programmers
to get opening book capabilities without a lot of reinvention
of the wheel; suggestions are most welcome.
