Hi Reinhard,

I've my own gui too.. And I think there are many engines/programs with an own
Gui. It's really not such a big deal to make a textversion of your chess-
program then, you just leave away your gui.. :) And use standart input/output
for communication, and adjust a few commands. (in the case of the winboard-
protocol.)
Also for playing games (as at CCT) with the winboardprotocol, you don't really
need to support many commands.  I suspect you'll have a winboard-compatible
version ready in an hour/few hours work, and you've time till February. So no
need to feel discriminated.

Actually this morning I added kibitzing to Neurosis, because of reading this
CCC threat, and will sign up to CCT7 in the weekend. (I don't know what
computer I will be able to have connected to the internet that long yet.)
I've started with a total rewrite of Neurosis, 2.0, but that won't be upto
strength before February I think, so I will play with version "1.82".

Greetings
Stan
