But I did not yet have the time to really look into it. It's great to hear that you have such plans! :) I had a look at ExaChess too, but AppleEvents are a tad too platform-specific for my taste. >Is there an xboard engine that compiles and runs under OS X? Maybe I could try >to start have a look if I could talk to such an engine. Tscp173 is pretty easy to compile (have to replace ftime with gettimeofday) and is xboard compatible. (but it doesn't implement all xboard features, like pondering or analyze-mode) Crafty should also be almost compilable (with the NeXT switch) but not out of the box. (at least not the most recent version) [I plan to look into that and send Bob some patches for OSX but, real life keeps me busy] Sargon
