I have the source for Averno v0.25 beta 1 up through Averno 0.40. Of course, I will not give this source to others without permission (early on I helped him porting or optimizing and Averno source), and I can assure you that it is very different from Skaki source. Here is the Averno source code archive that has been on my machine since 2000 (version 032, IIRC): ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chess-engines/averno/AVERNO.ZIP His older verions did not have public source code. I have the source for Skaki from 1.1.9 and also Jim Ablet's modified version 1.22. Here is Skaki 1.1.9 source code (it has been on my ftp site for 5-6 years now...): ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chess-engines/new-approach/skaki-src.zip Skaki is very much a Windows program through and through (rc files, yadda, yadda...) uses AFX... Averno was much more in the UNIX filter style, like most other Winboard/Xboard programs. The oldest Averno for which I have source is "barely winboard capable" and cannot make EPD record analysis even with EPD2WB. You will also notice that all of J MC's source and variable names is in Spanish. There were versions of Averno before 0.25, but I do not have the source or binaries to any of those. I added the variable sized hash tables to Averno in 0.30 (I read from his release notes).
