Hi Michael,

glad to see point (3).

I simply want you to know, that I am already creating a new protocol TMCI using
it in Smirf. See my (unready) proposal at http://www.chessbox.de/beta.html .

The most interesting thing is (in my opinion) not to use STDOUT and STDIN but
to supply SIMPLY ONE entry within a DLL.

Another idea is that a GUI has no need to understand or create moves itself.
That task should be delegated to a (verified third) engine.

Reinhard.
