Selling engine without GUI is not realistic i learned the hard way. People only get mad then. I can assure you that. However if someone is prepared to pay me 125 copies of diep, i can deliver a single diep binary for each platform: g4 and g5 and os/x (xboard/winboard compatible) and the person in question then can try to sell that as much as he wants to for the mac and can keep all the profit he makes (it is impossible to check sales anyway). In fact diep will be one of the few working parallel at the g5. OS/x might have not such best multithreading support (no kernel threads), though i didn't check it out 100%. Yet DIEP is multiprocessor so no problems at the dual G5 there. The G5 processor is relative slow for integer software in general, but for DIEP it's a fine processor. Vincent
