Hi all, As some of you may know, I am the author of a chess GUI for Mac OS X. A couple of days ago, I was shocked to receive an email telling me that my program didn't work at all on Macs without OpenMCL installed (which probably means that I am the only Mac user who has ever been able to use my GUI). Even more depressing than the problem itself is the fact that I was happily unaware of it until Tuesday this week. The program has been available for download for several months, but not a single user has complained that it didn't work. The interest for Macintosh chess GUIs must be even smaller than I expected. :-( Anyway, I have now attempted to fix this problem, and it seems to work. Even when I delete OpenMCL from my hard disk, the program continues to work correctly. However, I would very much appreciate if somebody else could confirm that the program finally works on their computer. I don't have much hope that it will work in OS X 10.3 or earlier versions (but feel free to try!), but I think it should run on all Macs running 10.4.x. If you have problems, please open Console.app and look for warnings or error messages there, and send them to me along with information about what type of Mac and which OS version you are running. The GUI can be found at http://www.glaurungchess.com Tord
