My downloads at http://tonyschess.x10host.com/ are back online. I am required to log in to x10 Hosting's control panel at least once a month, or else my account gets suspended.

I've kept my own CCW errata list:

• Top of page, Abbreviations section:
  Fishcher Random Chess -> Fischer Random Chess
• Andscacs
  no Syzygy support
• Ares
  "GB" refers to Graham Banks, not Gigabyte (as the tooltip says)
• BACE
  Dann Corbit's compile of 0.46 is available:
  download/file.php?id=106
  it fixes promotion to queen missing the required "q" suffix
• Cilian
  Latest version 4.14, not 4.41
  Download link should lead to KK's JA archive, not CCW's eng download list (because it's not there)
• Dolphin
  The files on Sourceforge are the GUI-only version, not compatible with either WB or UCI
  The Winboard version is here:
  http://www.mediafire.com/file/mj9x0czrc ... hin_1.0.7z
  http://www.filedropper.com/dolphin10
• OBender
  fixed 64-bit version compiled by Andrew Fan:
  http://www.mediafire.com/file/uoi87bns2 ... 4-fixed.7z
• EveAnn
  https://web.archive.org/web/20180324043 ... eveann.htm
• Firefly
  v2.7.2:
  http://www.mediafire.com/file/fjhuhbkcj ... 64.7z/file
• Kanguruh
  site offline
  https://web.archive.org/web/20180821024 ... guruh.html
• Lime

• Small Potato
  link to Tony Mokonen's 0.7.0 build is broken
  0.7.0 64-bit TP build: http://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/discuss ... p?id=42948

By the way, WBEC's large database of pre-2014 Winboard engines can be accessed via Wayback Machine:
https://web.archive.org/web/20140208020 ... sindex.htm

Some entries may display a blank page in which case try looking here:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://wb ... l/details/

or add manually EngineName.html to the following URL:

https://web.archive.org/web/20131107155 ... /details1/,

e.g.,
Comet: https://web.archive.org/web/20131107155 ... Comet.html
Pseudo: https://web.archive.org/web/20131107155 ... seudo.html

Pre-2009 Scorpio entry used "details" without "1" in the URL:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080614152 ... orpio.html

Tony, Tirsa,

Thank you! I have little time for keeping track. All help is welcome. All corrections will be made, but it will take me several weeks. My free time is non-existent right now.

Ron
