While the OS <=9 era is kinda in the past I'd love to check out your engine.. I dont care of it's strength... I love chess, and would be honored to check it out. Is it commercial? Freeware? Shareware? If you have a copy still let me know, or if it's free email a .sit or whatever you want to my email address jshriver@csee.wvu.edu I'd love to check it out :) If it is or was commercial let me know how much, if I can swing the money I'll try and get a copy :) I've been optimizing crafty for about a year now... and as I've started on my own engine I've been doing assembly PPC G4 optimization in it already (just about a month or so). I'm hoping that when I start fully testing and perhaps releasing my engine... it'll have full backing for PPC G4 (perhaps G5 especially with Building 31 backing *thanks Johan* support) as well as Opteron and x86 support. Write now all the bulk of my code is in C... I have more knowledge in x86 asm, but learning PPC as well, and since PPC is all I have to work with, that's the only assembler I can use) However thank goodnesss for Virtual PC :) Might now be able to do asm x86 cores in it... at least regular x86... greatly hoping to get an Opteron within the next 6 nmonths... all depends on how much money I can save from fast food, after I pay tuition....anyway I really love chess development.. and being a low-level programmer... I hope to create the infrastructure of my engine in C with parallization as it's core, and have tight well designed assembly cores for PPC/Opteron. hehe, still planning on attending WCCC 2005 :) already have a sponcer. :) Sincerely, Joshua Shriver On June 18, 2004 at 01:23:31, Ed Trice wrote: >Well, I wrote "The Sniper" in Pascal way back in 1987 that ran on my 16 MHz >Macintosh SE.
