Yes, Chess Tiger 11.7 does support Auto232.
I have not written the support code for rs232 PC board. I am not planning to do
so, because:
1) I don't have a rs232 PC Board, so I cannot test. Writting something without
being able to test at home is almost impossible, even if people are willing to
test it for me. I had to wait until I received an Auto232 kit (cable+software)
to be able to implement Auto232, and it was not a ten minutes job.
2) Tiger will be available as an additionnal engine for Rebel, so it will
benefit from all Rebel's nice features. I focus on engine strength rather than
adding features into Tiger. Auto232 support was absolutely necessary to further
improve the engine, rs232 pc board support is not.
