Thank you Jim. I'm going to have a play with it now. I found 3 others today all Java based. They all have xboard in there so fingers crossed.

I hope they are significantly stronger than Eden 0.0.13 but somewhat weaker than the top Java engines such as Cheetah, Flux, Mediocre, Kingsout, Alf, Olithink.

There is a huge gap between Eden and those engines.

Dann Corbit sent me an improved build of 'Hanzo' to compare with mine..
He's fixed some errors in the code and compiled it with Msvc++ - It's much faster than mine (+200nps) and uses 45mb and opposed to 210mb.

Hopefully he's post the link to it here soon.

Jim.

Hi Jim,

I always get timouts here for the files at mediafire, while the
downloads at mydatabus and orbit work fine.

Hello Dann

Does this compile need a specific dll ? It does not run on some of my computers.
