Subject: Now I know how to comunicate to Winboard

Dear Guys,

Now I am able to comunicate my chess engine to Winboard but I only want to ask
you some questions to know if I can have any problems because at the file
included at Winboard.

What this function do ?
setbuf(stdout, NULL);

At winbord´s protocol file says that "scanf" can have problems so I created my
own function:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <stdio.h>

void cgets ( char *buffer )
{
   char i, ch;
   /* Read in single line from "stdin": */
   for( i = 0; (i < 80) &&  ((ch = getchar()) != EOF) && (ch != '\n'); i++ )
      buffer[i] = (char)ch;

   /* Terminate string with null character: */
   buffer[i] = '\0';
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I think with this works fine!

But, can I use printf to comunicate Winboard succesfuly ?

How crafty thinks and gets text at the same time?

Thanks
