"Everyone else?" -- I know of few commercial programs that have winboard support (not loading winboard engines in their own GUI, but actually can be loaded as a winboard engine itself.) I'm sure there are some I am not thinking of, but only Rebel comes to mind. Gandalf really doesn't count because after version 6 it went UCI AFAIK. I haven't used the word "can't" -- but only commented that it is easily longer than an hour to do so -- and outside of the Chessbase GUI, we would also need to write (re-write) any tournament books. I'm sure if we decide to compete, I'll just work out some kind of parsed text dump from Hiarcs engine itself (not the GUI) and have it kibitzed via winboard. This will still require a third program running to pipe this eval to winboard as there are limitations as to what a loaded engine in the chessbase GUI can actually do. Dumping eval to a text file is one thing... -elc.
