Not sure what the problem is since the clone command works for me. Anyhow, heres a source package:

BTW, thanks for your work on scid.
Nothing except the msg "403 Forbidden".

Same here.
But yesterday it worked, as I downloaded the sources with gid.

Thanks Andy, but GID above mentioned seems strange for me. Could you also give me some details about GID.

Ah, sorry, I meant git not gid. :oops:

http://git.or.cz/

Git is a version control system for source codes, something like svn or cvs.
I didn't even know it before yesterday, as I only used cvs before. So I had to install it first from my unix distro and then just did as Neil suggested. Maybe he can say more about git.

Since we get an error for the tarball and the git repository my guess is there is something wrong with his server today as we don't seem to have access.

Nothing serious.
Never mind.
Just take it easy.
A piece of cake.

Actually, I have already be aware of the possible typo error. :twisted:

PS. I will try the easiest method to make strelka work under Unix.
Just change the C code to ASM code, then it would be easy to be embeded into eclipse's C project with CDT plugin.

There is also a patch file containing the same modifications as the sources Neil posted on the rybka site:

Yes, sorry. I disabled access after I decided that the copyright status of the code is in question. I looked at the code and it seems to me that some of it could be based on reverse engineering. For example, there are places where magic constants are used directly instead of using #define statements. IMHO, reverse engineering itself is not illegal. However, given that the original source release did not come with a statement of copyright and license, I don't feel comfortable distributing it.
