I suppose that Antonio will have something else in mind.
But I could not resist the temptation to compile it.

All my attempts to download Jim's package resulted in a corrupted file. Either from your site or directly from Jim's.

I just downloaded and unziped with 7z. Win32 executable run fine.
A game on chesswar with 64 bits so Win64 is also OK.
Which executable are you trying to run ?

Well, it seems it has something to do with the virus detection at my workplace. I downloaded the file and tried to unzip it with Total Commander's built-in unzipper. It was then when I got a file corrupted message.
However, I downloaded it at home as well and I could unzip it without problems and it runs all right.

So please forgive me for the unwarranted report.

I have put your engine in my testing queue.

Best regards,
