Hi,

thanks for your words and I hope that you are not disappointed but I have an
other opinion.

01. It would be better if you chance your name. Paul H. without profile is for
me not very interesting. Thinking on your full name because you are speaking in
a thread where programmers spend a lot of work in development. Means you are
speaking about the words from others and in Germany we like it in such cases to
know with which persons we speak. Only my opinion ...

02. To public such things is not right!
Right is to search the way to the programmers and to the persons which
distributed the software. In this case to me because the program is added on my
webpages.  This is much better as to write about it in open fora. I don't like
open discuss about such things because a lot of persons which try to make
troubles like it to give comments and others loosed the interest on chess fora
system. Only my opinion after my experience with the own forum systems.

Only the programmers have to discuss about it!

03. I don't read the forum I try to make publicity in the first glory years of
WinBoard as engine protocol. I don't like this forum at the moment! But this is
my problem! I am thinking that you have to added ... if you have interest to
make public such information ... in the Arena forum because ELChinito is a
partner of Arena and distributed by Arena. You must have the program from our
page ...

OK ...

On the other hand:
It's not correct that programmers used the sources from the others. I am sure we
have the same opinion. But do you really have all information about the chess
program ELChinito, or do you only have parts of the chess programm from
ELChinito. Do you know that Bob have contacts with Eugenio and Pascal?

I have nothing against your persons but I will give the clearly information that
I don't like it what you make. See point 1-3!

I accept your opinion about it, hope that you accept my opinion about it.
And now let us wait what the programmers have to say about it.

Best
Frank
