I'll create a web page of the responses. I am very sure most programmers do not like to be listed with adress, phone numbers and so on. I have had my phone number once in a shareware diep version that was put on 10+ million cdroms. In fact it was a very old diep version, they just put it at a cdrom, i didn't know that you can put freeware and shreware without asking the author on a cdrom just like that. So they sometimes phoned me sunday night 11 PM. When it is about search, parallel search, evaluation or something that isn't a problem even, but most are asking for a 386 version or DOS version of DIEP or something similar. That's not so nice. Imagine when Frans Morsch gets listed here. He will be phone-spammed. Right now i receive daily about 150 spam emails and sometimes that's double but never less. This despite that i have a spam and anti4us filter turned on at my ISP. So who knows how many still get kept away from me. Probably the swami spamming that lately happened to all chess authors has been filtered like that, i received none :) So on behalf of many programmers i am sure we do not want to get listed. If you want to know something, you can always email me or chat live. Thank you, Vincent
