Just copy position.bin from crafty to posbin in Elchinito's directory. It doesn't seem to use crafty's opening book but it doesn't crash on it either. You can see it at least open posbin from crafty with Taskinfo. After reading some of Frank's replies. Is he trying to cover for these frauds only because he is in hot water for including what turned out to be a clone? Is he covering for himself? Is he waiting for the ElClonito authors to notify Dr. Hyatt that, "Oh by the way we stole significant portions of your program without attributing anything to you in anyway. Is it okay for us to steal your blood, sweat, and tears?" If you haven't already take a look at the crafty source. Look at the copyright notice in main.c /* last modified 01/26/04 */ /* ******************************************************************************* * * * Crafty, copyright 1996-2001 by Robert M.
