I think that free source that has no chess source but only program that deal with the winboard commands can be productive. The source should include a lot of empty functions(every function that deal with chess stuff should be empty and there should be only explanation what it is supposed to do in the source so programmers will be able to deal with chess stuff). For example a function to choose a move and even function that check if a move of the opponent is legal should be empty when the programmer will need to give the information because it is chess stuff but function like Read of crafty should be not empty because exactly the same actions are important for go. Read() of crafty copies data from the command_buffer into a local buffer, and then uses ReadParse to break this command up into tokens for processing. Maybe it is possible to take it as part of Crafty's source but I do not like to figure out exactly what is relevant in Crafty's source for that purpose. I think that a program that does it and has some empty functions with exact definition what the empty function should do can be productive for programmers. Uri
