thanks, bill that's quite kind of you. but i say no, at least for now.
In fact I recieved 4!!!! new chess programs in the past two weeks, so my plate is
kind of full. One of them is the excellent non-commercial program called ruffian1.05--
winboard engine. my biggest problem chesswise at the moment is recompiling crafty19.4
source under gcc.optimizing for my chipset.
Incidently rebel12(the problematic example of my previous post) is now made as a
commercial windows compatible version which runs under winXP; consequently that means
all the previous dos versions are available as a free download-- if collect analytical
chess engines, you ought snap up the old rebel for free while it is still available.
btw, bill,what is your program callled?
