Hey Mike, hows pogo?
Menu: Tools – Connect hardware (or Alt-Shift-J)
You can play engines against programs using the Auto232 device driver. To do
this, you must connect two different computers with a serial cable (null modem).
Playing with a null modem cable (serial port)
After clicking the correct Com port, start an Auto-232 match on both computers
using File – New – Two computer match. In the dialog box, specify the players
and the name of the match. One of the PCs must be defined as the "Master".
During the match you will find information on its progress in the area just
below the status line, at the top of the screen (exactly as in engine matches).
The Auto232 function is fairly complex!
Also Dont know exactly what your doing but if you want to run a match between
the two programs each using one of the cpu's try this:
The autoplayer on a dual system
It is possible to conduct autoplayer games on a dual system without any relevant
performance loss. Each program gets a full CPU and has access to all the
resources allocated to it. Permanent brain works perfectly. Of course, the
system is only meaningful if you are using different GUIs for the two programs.
If both run under the Fritz GUI, it is better to start a regular engine match.
Start both programs and position them on the screen so that you can see the
relevant information and follow the match.
Start an autoplayer match as described above, defining one program as master
and one as slave.
Click "Server name" and enter a dot (period) in the input line.
*If you still have problems and wish to have me email you pictures of the steps
