Maybe I will give it a try, but don't expect too much (the best I accomplished
in that field was ripping the music off most games back in the C64 area :).
The version string should give a good hint where to look (at least CM 5500 had
something like "The King v2.55" in its exe somewhere).

Still a master hacker's job, fiddling with a compiled executable. :-|

An easier way would be to use the internet connectiviy (chessmaster live)
features, but it will only let you feed moves to the engine, not set up a
position or change time controls etc.
