Does anybody know of some equivalent utility for Windows OSes ?

Or is there a way to adapt and compile this one for windows ?

Hi Denis,

I should have added >
'untested - use at your own risk', don't complain to me if it doesn't work' etc, etc

I just woke up and tested it. You sure said that alright . Let's hope this email is still alive: minimalist@vanheusden.com
At least the compile runs, and the rest will be history. My hunch is, some parts of the code are not compatible in windows. I hope somebody here will figure it out for us.

Similar problem here.
I tried unsuccessfully to run two uci engines through polyglot 1.4 under winXP 32bits (see log hereafter)

It would be nice to get it working ...

I'm bumping this thread to let you guys know that we've written a similar program as a side project for our CuteChess gui: http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27024
Linux is my main platform, but I've also tested it in Windows and Mac OS X. I'd like to get some feedback for improving this little tool.

[Edsel Apostol]

Thanks Ilari. I've been wanting for that little tool for so long. I even thought of writing one myself but I'm just too busy. I will check it out and suggest some improvements if any.

Twisted Logic Regards,
Edsel
