Aha! This what I thought that it is possible. It is already for a long time
(around three years) that I expect to come back to my programming and even to do
stay alone mate solver, but I never did. Then, if this will happen, I will be
interested in position like Your for revision of my logic. I do remember that it
was not so easy for me to find books with some mate position when I wrote my
mate solver. I must keep Your position for the future use.

You have better memory for names. It could be that because of my work I am very
loosy for remembering any name.

What is the address of Your Web Page, or Your program? By curiosity I want to
glance how You came to writing Your program and where You are right now.

Paul vanished very suddenly and not came back. It is very difficult to say why.
Maybe he just changed his interest, like everybody do once in a while.

PAULLLLL!!!!!, if You are there give us a sign that You are still running in
this universe and not bifurcated in parallel one!

Cheers,
