ColChess Winboard Port - needs testing

[Colin Frayn]

Geschrieben von:/Posted by: Colin Frayn at 03 February 2000 17:02:30:
Dear all,
If any of you have some time, could you please help me out by testing the Windows / Winboard port of ColChess, which is available from my web site (below). I have included the source (which might require some changing if you want to use it) and a precompiled .exe (which won't). Instructions for running it are in the README. Please let me know if it works and if the instructions are easy to follow, as I obviously know what I _meant_ to write, but whether it makes sense or not I can't tell!
The .exe file is compiled for Winboard compatability mode, so if you just want to play with it in text mode you'll have to recompile. Also, I don't support _all_ of the Winboard features yet, but most of the important ones are in.
Hopefully this should be up on Frank's Winboard page soon (if all goes well)
Thanks a lot,
Colin
P.S. Thanks to Dann Corbit who helped me do the translation and tidy up my code.

Hi Christian,
war zu viel Streß gestern, bin noch nicht dazu gekommen sondern habe lediglich die Konfigurationsdateien für Chess-Base GUIs und Genius 6 / 6.5 gefertigt, ohne zu prüfen. Das mache ich noch in einer ruhigen Minute.
Wichtig war erst mal herauszufinden ob die Programme unter WinBoard laufen und ob es hier Probleme gibt. Bei ColChess ist die SET Variable in der Autoexec.bat wichtig. Meine Autoexec.bat liegt als Beispiel dem config.zip und big_config.zip File bei. Die ColChess Detail Seite sollte also gelesen werden sonst gibt es unter Umständen Probleme. Ich habe das auch nicht direkt verstanden obwohl es so schwierig mit der SET Variablen gar nicht ist. Patzer bedient sich ja auch solcher Einträg für BitBases (Endspieldatenbänke von Roland), Aufgabeparameter und Pfad zu den Nalimov TBs bzw. Cache für die TBs. Hier sind es also 4 Einträge für Patzer. Bei der Comet DOS Version gibt es hier auch eine SET Einstellung
Vielleicht hast Du ja heute Zeit und kannst kurz berichten !
Gruß
Frank
