Well, we can recall that the Crafty-Rebel NPS Match was canceled, I think part of the reason was because Bob thought there were anomalies in the log files. I recall that he was having trouble getting Auto-232 working properly on machines of all speeds at the same time -- not a surprise when you take a look at it. :) Well, Rebel is going Windows (thankfully, I barely use it lately since I am mostly running NT and Linux), and there is already a Crafty for Windows. Maybe someone will hook in the windows auto-232 code to Crafty and we can run the NPS match reliably? Dave Gomboc
