I have both. Program runs pretty well on Yes! Kaissa (in any form) is on my list of things to hunt for, but I was very unsure of where to even begin. I don't speak Russian, and I figured that back then it was a "State owned project" kind of thing and getting it would be darn difficult. Much of our hunting has focused on 1) what we already have in our archives, or 2) a few particular programs that we happen to like. In my case, that's #2. I got interested in computer chess in the early 80s, so those are the programs I have the most fondness for. And therefor, the programs I've been hunting the most. >Win2K system, and source code is in Borland C++ 3.x (I did not try to compile it >yet). >One of the authors of Kaissa, Alexander Bitman, told me that this port is very >similar to mainframe version of Kaissa. Do you know the author or could contact him? If so, do you think he might be willing to give permission for us to post it? (Even if he can't, I'm still curious about Kaissa....) And / or any interesting history about it? History of programs, interesting side stories, etc. are things we also need. If you want to send it, you can use either the email address I use in this list, or the generic gmail.com address that's posted on our web page.
