UCI can work in any system you want, if you develop an interface for your program that uses it... This is _the_ reason the ICCA is still using manual operation. A "few" simply refuse to move forward, think outside the box a bit, and come up with a solution that has already been proven to work reliably for many years. A local FICS server at the tournament site, with a LAN for all participants, solves every problem ever dreamed of. If someone is not willing to write their own GUI to talk to ICC, they can use winboard for windows or xboard for unix, or they can use others like chesspartner. Or they can sit at home and continue to complain... > >Best regards, >Vincent
