Under unix, do a quick "strings lapetite.exe" and then download the latest "crafty" and give that a quick check. I'm not the least bit amused by this. "many years of work" as it says in the web site is true... but it appears to be mostly _my_ work. :( This thing still uses crafty commands like reset, timeleft, etc. It does the same sort of text processing. I don't know of many programs that handle castling with "0-0", "o-o", "O-O", and "O-O+" ad so forth. And uses my "savepos *" internal command to set the initial position to a non-standard position, etc. This guy is a scam artist. This program is "crafty". Just like his previous program (voyager). what a loser to keep trying this. You'd think he would at least get a clue about how to hide his copying a little bit better. Please pass the word along that _if_ this program does go commercial, he can expect contact from my attorney.
