Starting from a foreign source code or patchworking it from different originals is poisoning the process which by that becomes cloning. I warmly recommend not to have whole sources of other chess programs at hand. Every part of a chess program should be tryed by oneself first up to working results before consulting a second opinion of other programmers. It is very dangerous to communicate on chess programming themes by exchanging even parts of source code. There is no need for that. And if someone really is convinced that this could not be avoided, there is no need at all to spread it openly over the whold internet. Regargs, Reinhard.
