This was not released it escaped.  It is one of the most fustrating pieces of
software I have had the pleasure to not trash!

Ed's program is worth the effort needed to get auto232 working!  There are other
programs that can benefit from even this trashy autoplayer. Mchess, Hiarcs for
dos, The Genius collection, CStal... And more..

I will wait till the weekend before trying to get a 10 game matchup with Rebel
12 v Shredder7
