Oops I did not know that I had forgotten to answer you on this one, but I admit
that it is possible (I have something like 400 unanswered emails in my inbox).
OK, the answer is that I am too lazy to organize this. And part of the problem
is that I won't get anybody to help me here (they are still trying to rebuild a
chess federation here, so you see...).
Also I have just learned from Vincent's post that I have a buggy program, so I
guess I'll have to spend the next months trying to fix them (or maybe to find
them). ;-)
