Funny you should ask, Omid. PostModernist is currently a Linux-only engine. That
situation would change any minute, if I could just work out one small problem
with PeekNamedPipe(..) on Windows. At the moment it can play under WinBoard if I
make frequent use of <Move Now>. It either seems to spend all its time thinking
that there is input available, or it ignores all input altogether...

I used Linux at Maastricht - I'm afraid I can't remember if anyone else did.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it to Graz this year. November is right
in the middle of teaching. Are you going? I've a horrible feeling that I'm not
going to go this year and I'll miss out on meeting LOADS of people I'd like to
meet.
