Looking for a crossplatform equivalent of Wb2Uci

[Roland Chastain]

In order to use XBoard engines in my GUI, I would need a crossplatform equivalent of Wb2Uci. Would someone have some ideas about the way of doing that? Would someone else be interested in such a tool?
It's a pity that Wb2Uci source code isn't available. But anyway I guess that it uses Windows API for the pipes.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Source, along with Winboard/Xboard:

Follow "summary" and "snapshot" links to source, although there may be a better way to find things.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I will study the code of uci2wb. It can be a good starting point.

I took a look at uci2wb source code. It's a great piece of code, but too strong for me.

I believe it will be easier to implement xboard protocol support in my GUI.

Note that UCI2WB is the opposite of what you asked for. It is for running UCI engines in a WB GUI.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I know.
