You are right. I am not in the mood to spend one minute longer of my time on auto232. If it is a pure DOS problem has to be seen. There is no single evidence pointing in that direction. >What astonishes me is that there don't seem to be many interested in this >topic. There is. But think of the consequences. The reliability of auto-playing is on stake here. Auto-playing is used to measure the strength of chess programs. 90% of games published here and elsewhere comes from auto232. Imagine we drop auto232. We would return to the dark ages. Horrible view to look for. >Right now I think there are 2 possibilities what causes the programs play >strange with auto232: >1) DOS program >2) Nimzo7.32 autoplayer which would let me suspect that the other CB products >produce the same behaviour, Fritz5, Junior5, Nimzo99 and Hiarcs7.32.

I claim you aren't able to reproduce the Rebel case you had. It happens rarely and is IMO not reproducible. Ed
