CSTAL property rights

[chrisw]

look i have this version since 1999.
chris and i were testing it and then he sold his company any i was - of course - disapointing about this "end".

of course i try to make this version beeing alive.
but it is not that easy ...

in the moment all i can do is to play some games manually and to post them IF this is interesting for some people here.
i am working on a solution.

And I have absolutely nothing. No sources. No executables. No nothing. Didn't fancy getting sued, so I made sure I gave up all the IP.

games manually".... what does it means?
The thing play or not?
I do not care if it has or not a device to play automatically against other engines, I never card for that, I never see games between machines.
Question is:
Do you have something capable of playing chess on its own or not?

i have to operate via mouse.

[fern]

Via mouse or whatever, it is an operable program?
In fact, tell me of a program of these days that it is not operable via mouse.
I do not understand very much your points.

If he wants to play with Chesstal against another engine he has to do it manually as CSTAL doesnt support any universal protocols like UCI/WB and isnt a native chesspartner, chess assistant or Chessbase engine.

[fern]

I know that, but T knows I do not ask for that.

other chess programs play
automatically (e.g. as UCI) in matches or engine-tournaments.

Well, the fact cstal iii cannot do it, cannot care me less. I HAVE NEVER BE INTERESTED IN ENGINE-ENGINES GAMES.
My direct question and please give me a direct answer, is:
May I get it?
Do you have an operative program that I could get OR it is and always will be an exclusive object of your property?
If Cstal can play a game, there is a way I can convince you to put it in my hands?
If not, which are the reasons?

I cannot be more clear regards
