You could argue that CB doesn't have WB support now - so propper UCI support is
better than what we have at the moment!  I definitely want UCI support.  There
has certainly been a buzz about UCI since it was runoured that CB would support
UCI.  I can see that with the new freeware GUI and CB support UCI will become
*extremely* popular.  From a programming point I have implemented winboard
support in my engine but looking at the UCI protocol it seems much tighter and
almost as easy to implement.  I'm looking forward to making it UCI compatible.
It'll be great when we have a healthy UCI community that can compete on equal
terms with Fritz et al.

Regards,

Steve

PS I think CB should also come up with a decent Auto232 alternative that's a bit
more stable
