I apologize, also for the tone of my message. I did not realize your answer, but I have no doubt at all, that it is true. Thanks for clarifying it. To my other point: You wrote: [Ruffian could be] "2. A copy of a commercial engine, aided by a hex editor to change strings to disguise what has happened." I mentioned, that there seems to be only one commercial engine that supports UCI and WB (perhaps I am wrong here, also Rebel may do this). Also, that Ruffian seems to be running under Unix when logged into ICC. Something, that cannot be done with a hex editor. Perhaps, here I expected something like "Well, you are right, it cannot be done with a hex editor, so my point 2 is indeed impossible as stated". To the wrapper argument: Uli Türke posted, that starting of Ruffian starts exactly one thread in the task manager. I did not say or imply, that you said, that Ruffian is some sort of clone. Just that at least your point 2 is invalid. Sorry again, for my mistone. With best regards, Dieter
