Hi Daniel,
thanks for the award !!
BTW, Homer 2.0 UCI is not yet installable under ChessGUI. I guess it is a GUI bug. How about taking out that voice which betrays to people's wives that the apparently idle PC is actually running a chess tournament with minimized GUI ?
Best,
Matthias.

Wooopie, you're right! Thanks for remember this point. So, you wanna have a option make Homer silent ?

The 2.01 version was ready May'07. Time to release it soon. The most time i spend on making Homer 100% Vista compatible. Homer detects now the current running OS:

Code: Select all

BOOL
CheckVersion(void)
{
	OSVERSIONINFO version; 
	version.dwOSVersionInfoSize=sizeof(version); 

	if (GetVersionEx(&version)) {
		//MS DOS 5.0/60=1
		//Windows 3.11=2
		//Windows (NT) 3.x=3 
		//Windows 95/98/Me und NT 4.0=4
		//Windows 2000, XP und 2003=5 
		//Windows Vista=6
		
		if (version.dwMajorVersion >= 6) {
			CreateHomerDir();
			return TRUE;
		} else {
			return FALSE;
		}
	} else {
		WindowsMessageHandle("Can't determine OS version");
		ExitProgram(56);
	}

	return FALSE;
}

Best
Daniel
