   I just want him to look at what i have right now and tell all those people
who have doubts here what he thinks it is. This i think will clear up things
once and for all and save us all the trouble. But if he is not interested what
can i do but to keep on working.

    if you call the following rewrite of crafty,we certainly have different
opinions.

      - different search
      - different evaluation (mine is relatively knowledge based while crafty is
fast searcher). that's why mine is 1/4 as fast as crafty (in Nps) but is not
1/4 as bad.
      - has a different style of play
      - which has completely different data structures
      - the only subroutine that i remeber similar was a simple utility function
used for display. [i always make sure i have nothing same as crafty since the
accusation]

    I will send my source one more time to him incase he hasn't read this
thread. I am doing everything on my part to to resolve the matter.
   That's why I consider any more accusations to be not based on anything,just
trolls.
