I don't believe so. AFAIK the new Gromit 3.xx version is build out of a source code frame from the TcBishop author Remi Coulom. So perhaps some of the other authors have used the same source code frame from Remi. But that has nothing to do with clones. As far as i know it is only a source code with basic functions like wb interface, tb access and such things. have a nice day Andreas >The biggest similarities to Ruffian I could reproduce with Crafty 18.15 (In >games aginst each other, the eval is about 99% identical on my computer).
