Let me explain:

Les Fernandez is working on an interesting VB application.  The application uses
symmetry to solve a class of problems from a single solution.

It may have many interesting applications, from creation of an automated mate
composer to expanding database systems of checkmates into much larger solution
sets.

Les is tidying up a few things and I expect that he will formally release the
code shortly.
