Eugenio wrote me a little bit about the situation and will contact Bob. I wrote Eugenio that I will public later his statement in Arena News-Ticker because the program is added on Arena webpages (the right place). This should be enough for the moment! A good time for more discuss about ELChinito should be after Eugenio's statement and the contact with Bob. For the moment ELChinito is available on Arena webpage. If I have after all the information that ELChinito is a clone from Crafty I will delete the program from Arena's webpage. I hope Bob can after the contact with Eugenio write a little bit more ... I am sure that Eugenio will send Bob the program information and the important sources (think so, I am not a programmer and don't know what is important for Bob). Best Frank
