Of course I'm interested! I could test the autoplayer 232- and the
PC-board-chess 232-compability. Perhaps you remember that I did send you some
mails when you included the autopayer-compability in version 11.17. The only
still existing problem for the chess 232-PC-board is, that castling the king not
working correctly. (For example: when white castles to to kingside the PC-board
"thinks" that the white rook is still on h1. After scanning the boardposition
into the PC-board it is possible to play on. (No big problem, but a bit annoying
when you play blitzgames.) Shredder 2 an Nimzo 98 (both do have the
Windows-autoplayer build inside) are working perfectly together with the chess
232- PC-board. When you put a beta-version in the betaversiondirectory it would
be a pleasure to give you some testreports.

I'm waiting for your betaversion.:-))
Best greetings,
Hannu Wegner
