Maybe they are afraid they will be accused of >copying Crafty. From what Christophe told me, I gather it is more difficult to implement than you would think. I always thought it was just an afternoon of concentrated work because it seems to integrate so seamlessly with Crafty, but obviously I was wrong. On the other hand, especially Rebel and Tiger are very strong in the endgame even compared to TB-enabled programs (remember Rebel is the only program to solve FIN09 from LCT II in reasonable time, for example). So neither Ed nor Christophe are in a hurry to get this done. However, with more and more programs supporting it, it will be hard to postpone it much longer. :) --- Shep
