Otherwise, my own chessprograms (My current Neurosis, and my previous program S(Stan's)Chess. ) are written in Pascal. You can find them here.: http://www.geocities.com/tasteofinsanity81/stanspage I use the Free Pascal compiler, which is very close to Turbo Pascal, only a more modern version of it. (32 bit, and support for many platforms.) http://www.freepascal.org/ And there are some other moderrn free compilers very close to Turbo Pascal. (By the way, on request I do not mind to share Neurosis's sourcecode. (Unfortunatly it will be of little use I guess, it is entirely in dutch and internaly works different from anything else you've ever seen.) ) Yes, Pascal is an excelent choice to write a chessprogram in. Depending on what you are used to. If you are used to C, then you will probably not like Pascal, but otherwise, Pascal is usually better read-able, and just as powerfull and fast. (People programming in C, C++ usually claim all sorts of slowdowns for writing something in Pascal, but this is not true, especially depending on your experience. (If you start to know the language well, and stick to a compiler for a while so you know what it is good at and what not and it's switches.) ) Greetings Stan
