Definitely I will make it compatible with Xboard from the start. >But my question is, if I use a PC running under Solaris or under Linux, will it >be posible to make the engine support auto232? With a lot of work, because the protocol is nuts. I'd like for some of us "freeware" types to design an auto232 protocol that is sane, easy to implement, and easy for users to make it work. And dump "auto232" once and for all as something that has outlived its usefulness. I know, there's a lot of programs that support it. But there are *better* ways. IE besides a serial link, what about a network link? What about reasonable messages rather than having to count tabs, and so forth. What about *real* chess that allows e8=N, rather than always promoting to a queen, which will definitely lose/draw some won games.
