I do not want to make too much noise, but the special chess freeware page on gambitsoft.com has more than 150 000 requests per year. This is certainly less than Yahoo has per day. But I doubt that you get many email requests with just one single posting here. So there are basically 2 possibilities: You want to give your program to a limited group of perhaps 15-20 people, then post it once like you did here already. Or secondly, you want to offer your program to thousands of visitors and you put it on gambitsoft.com, for example. There is no problem of putting a readme file in with author's instructions, email address etc. so that an author can get feedback. Maybe this is plain advertising here and unwanted. So delete it. But it is also nothing but the plain truth. I cannot understand, for example, why the author of the Green Bishop said he would prefer to have his progam for free download on his homepage only. I very much doubt if any of you would know the homepage of the Green Bishop by heart. I doubt that many have heard about the Green Bishop. I doubt that there is any advantage in keeping the Green Bishop on a secret homepage somewhere in the world wide web, so that a lonesome chess aficionado might step on it by chance some day. Think about it. And be that as it may, it had to be said here. Nice Sunday, Bert
