Go up one level in this thread


Well, I wrote "The Sniper" in Pascal way back in 1987 that ran on my 16 MHz
Macintosh SE. That's 16 Mhz, not missing a 0 after the 16 :)

I had to endure Dr. Hans Berliner calling it "Low Tech" as I sat beside him in
HiTech's last appearance in tournament play.

I find myself a dinosaur now in the Mac OS X world, but I am working to change
all of that. I have some new pieces done and will be making a Mac OS X release,
with some of Tord's help, at some point by this fall.

...are the new graphics for the Gothic Chess board, but I may use them and do a
Mac OS X port of Crafty if Dr. Hyatt would not be opposed to the idea.
