This question pertains to a chess engine I am attempting to create. I am not absolutely certain of the format to use when sending the feature list from my engine to Winboard. I am reading the WB command protocols list and it describes sending features in the format feature feature1=value f2=val f3=val, but it also mentions feature sets using a comma ie: feature=value, So can I send a group of features?, ie: feature ping=1 setboard=1 playother=1 or should a comma seperate the groups?, ie: feature ping=1, setboard=1, playother=1 What if I send a group of features to Winboard or a quasi-Winboard compatable program that may not accept one of the features in a large group? How will program x notifiy my engine? I would only guess that the unaccepted command would be echoed back with the string "rejected" appended. Something like ?: ping rejected And I would expect this to happen after, not during the sending of the feature list from eng to WB? I appreciate in advance any help, -matt mbox1@alltel.net
