Chess.h in crafty defines a lot of things that may serve to illustrate the differences among OS's and microprocessors. For Example: I am converting several parts of my program over to bitboards. Bit placement within the long long word is dependent on bit order of the microprocessor, reducing portablility for hardcoded bit masks. Hope this helps. William wbryant@ix.netcom.com
