Greetings, The man page that came with version 4.0 pl 74 says that I can use the input format nf3 rather than g1f3. However, it does not seem to be working. Has this part of the code fallen into disrepair? Also, I personally do not like the geometric method of input, and much prefer the input method of, say, N-KB3. Has this been considered as an alternative? How hard would it be to code? Yes, I know that the usual response to these questions is "Great idea. Go for it." but I was wondering before I start if it has been tried, or if there are a priori reasons why it would not work. The difficulty will be in making sure that there is not ambiguity in the move, which I admit is not the case with the geometric input method. Is there even sufficient interest to bother doing this? -- Clark Dorman http://cns-web.bu.edu/pub/dorman/Dorman.html
