So it's surely possible to adapt wchess (or >another)on palmpilot and having a "clear >2000" prog. >Am i wrong ? Certainly possible. In fact, in the early 90's Richard Lang of Genius fame contracted to port an early engine to be distributed on all Psion 3 organizers. Not probable. Handheld apps tend to run cheap, $10-$50 typically. An author probably won't recoup much of his engineering effort in such a small market. Especially with a $15 shareware program already out there which will satisfy 90% of the user base. But we can dream. :) Lang, give us MicroGenius! Morsch, give us Fritz Jr! In the meantime, wait for PocketChess 2.0. It will have a new engine incorporating many modern search techniques (compared to the 80's vintage SCP engine it had before). Ian
