I think, this is the expected behaviour. stdin is typically line buffered, so it will need a return (at least, when typing into the console). Your suggestion about checking the return value of (for example) fgets() is still good, and will work in typical situations, where the GUI crashes. Under Unix and under Windows. Another (better?) way to check wether the engine does this, may be to redirect input. Have a file with a single line xboard Say x.inp. Run engine < x.inp. An even better test might be, to not have a line at all - just the word xboard without newline. Regards, Dieter
