Hi Pat

I gave your new version a quick try to see if it fixed the crash under CM9000 or
the Arena time problem. As your changes were just in eval as you probably
expected it didnt.

I did have a quick look at what the problem might be with the Arena time
control.

Arena for example sends a command 'st 10' for a time control of 10 seconds per
move. Your engine responded with 'unrecognised command'. Maybe you just haven't
implemented that one ?

Probably a trivial fix for you ?

4 lines of code in mine

		if (!strcmp(command, "st"))
		{
			sscanf(line, "st %d", &maxTime);
			maxTime *= 1000; /* get it in millisecs */
			maxDepth = 32;
                }
Hope this helps ?

Incidentally, you should give chess Arena a try, it is free and very good. I
much prefer it to Winboard

         Regards Geoff
