Somewhat related or not, at ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/Unix/ there is this SCP that I've started playing around with as a dos program instead of unix, but it also seams to be part of a SAN package, also at that site. SAN seams to be a kit that is for intigrating pgn saves to a program I beleive (I may have that wrong) but I have to go back there and pick up a copy of SAN and see how well it meshes up with SCP, I haven't tried compiling it that way yet. But it might or might not be of assistance for adding a savegame command. Does your program keep a history of the moves yet? is that why no takeback command? I don't mind that not being there, people get used to it though. Pete
