Hello all, [technical question to chess programmers:] I am trying to build an interface between WinBoard and my chess program. My program has its own graphical interface, it is not a "console application". I am using C++ (MSVC 6.0 and MFC). Is it possible to build such an interface to a non-console application? I am inexperienced with stdin, stdout, and text-mode-applications, I have trouble with the most basic things like HANDLE InputHandle = ::GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); Is this a line meaningful in a non-console application? In my case GetStdHandle() fails and returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE. Has anybody successfully interfaced a non-console windows application to WinBoard? If so, sample code would be great! I apologize if this post is considered off-topic. If you think this topic is too special for this forum, I would be glad to hear from you by private e-mail. Thanks in advance, Gerrit Reubold
