I use auto232 since they the day it became available, 1994 I believe. Others
do the very same. SSDF is almost entirely based on auto232. I have never
questioned the results of auto232 until I became suspicious about one year
ago and started to be more careful judging its output.

I estimate I have checked some 45-50 games last year and only found 2-3
moves that weren't correct. That is not much still it remains unacceptable.

My reasoning to support auto232 again is three ways: 1) all programs have
the same problem (no idea into what extend) and 2) there is nothing else and
3) nobody is going to give up auto232 despite its flaws as playing manually
is no alternative.
