Ref: see above Quote/Unquote

Yes, I think those who are handling chess engine web pages should send a
circular mail to all engine authors to ask them to start something with your
above suggestion.

BTW, I would need List and SOS to be designed also for WB use, to load in SCID,
etc., but the respective authors never appear here or in other fora to discuss
this matter.
