I have already done in your source code - I believe to remember, that you have no DOS or Windows system available (only Unix), so you probably couldn´t test my new version of your Chest (I called it 3.19+). I.e., my new Chest version is already almost optimal for my UCI interface, but of course _you_ may have more (and better) ideas for adapting it to UCI. If so, I hope that it will not be necessary for me to completely rewrite my whole engine ;-) (It was rather a lot of work for me to program this interface at all) Best wishes, Franz.
