Hi,

no WB support no UCI support.

CBase will not have the work from amateur programmers, please!
WB and UCI is OK for me, if WB 1:1 native and user must no use this
bad adapter and new configuration files (*.init files).

CBase will have UCI (if WB works fine under CBase we need not UCI or other
concepts) and now the amateur programmers must give for free this support?

My opinion:
1:1 Tim Mann in CBase GUIs and we need not other protocols.

OK, UCI is a good idea but if CBase delete WB support I think the best answere
for UCI engine programmers is a "Stop UCI" order if an UCI amateur engine will
started under CBase GUIs.

But the programmer must know what is to do (it's only my opinion).

Best
Frank
