Yes, I did have brief communications with SSDF's Petterson ans SKR's Kurt. Though I didn't make any hard recomendations, the consensus seemed to be that the Sedat-Kurt-Rolf settings were the obvious way to test CM9's engine, assuming there was only 1 to choose. That happened before the above quote. [enlightnment section] Q: What is Ebbis? A: Ebbis (Ebbi's) is short for Eberhard Boerger's WinBoard232.exe, which is a program that behaves as a WB engine on one end and an Auto232 interface on the other end. That way a WB-GUI (like CM8000) can be tricked into playing a game through cable without even knowing it. [back to now] >Did you not >discuss using CM9K with Ebbis autoplayer with the SSDF rather than using >general.ctg and a CB gui?. This subject was dropped when the issue shfited to TK-under-CB. As I mentioned 10 days ago, I failed to bring it up again. :-( ... Johan
