I don't see the point. Wouldn't it be easy enough to write a
program that sits between Crafty and the user (like winboard) and modify the
Crafty output at that point?
Btw the way CompUSA sells a program called "Microshaft Winblow 98".
I doubt Bill Gates is overjoyed about this but he has not (so far as I know)
been foolish enough to try and stop them. A lesson for us all?
