Good heaven, Steve. That's exactly what I'm doing, right now. I'm a hobby
programmer, and am writing up my chess engine in C. (VC 6)

Trust me, it's very basic! :) You wouldn't mistake it for anything Bruce,
Robert, or Tom Kerrigan wrote. Alas, it is not elegant or short, either.

I may not be able to answer all your questions, but I'm sure willing to give it
a shot.
