But I have a Mac and an old (but not incredibly old) Metrowerks C/C++ compiler so I plan to give it a shot. If and when I can get CHEST to build for the Mac, doing the GUI on top of that should be pretty easy (especially if by then I've already successfully done it for the other platforms). I don't know if there are any fast, dedicated chess-problem-solving programs for the Mac. If not, this will bring this ability to a whole new audience. Heiner Marxen's program, CHEST, rules as a problem-solver!
