Subject: auto232

	It seems that now it is arising a debate about the importance of auto232
support among chess engines, in part due to the decision of Ed Schroeder of
removing it from Rebel.
	Not so long ago, I asked where auto232 was documented, and Mr. Torsten Schoop
was kind enough to send me his sources of auto232.
	I have been studying them, and I have some questions:
What are the requirements of auto232?
Does it need a PC?
Does it require windows 95/98/NT?
	I ask these questions because I do not use PC's (in fact only recently I have
realized how vast the PC world is), and I am planning to write a chess engine,
mainly for Sun SparcStations running under Solaris (it is difficult for me to
support other platforms, as I have no access to them). I think I can switch to a
PC running under Solaris too, but moving to Windows only to write a chess engine
would be too much.
