Ed Schroder has tried to get a gentleman's agreement to have all the programmers provide their program's autoplay driver to the public. The idea is that if one program has a secret autoplayer then others won't be able to test against it while it will be able to test against theirs. This is unfair. He probably won't succeed because having a bunch of programmers agree on anything except the alpha beta algorithm is next to impossible. -- Komputer Korner
