Hi, thank you. :shock: I'm stupid. I was thinking this is an UCI engine like 512. Didn't look for a CB-native, so now yes, I have it too :oops:
Sorry for that, I'm getting old...

And what is with v5.06 ... I found here, CB-Native.

I remember Fritz Reul, back in the Winboard days, he sent me a letter and his first engine by regular mail.
It was a text-mode version (neither CB-native, MCS protocol, UCI, no WB). I published his work on my old Winboard site, after which more than 50 people asked me … why I had posted a text-mode engine on my Winboard site. I gave the answer … that’s the new number one. And the world is manually testing List in text mode. Well, I thought to myself, I’ll have some peace and quiet for the next few months, people are busy.

Dr. Chrilly Donninger sent my for many years Nimzo Guernica 1.04 by slow post (no internet at this time), few days later I got a very large package from him. The Handbook for the blind people. I think Chrilly could see in the future, often I was blind in computerchess.

:-)

I hold it yesterday in my hands, found different of the very old computer chess things.
Hiarcs 1.0 3,5 disk for an example with a copy protection, a carton full of such things.
Also the letter, written by hand from Fritz Reul to his first version he sent.

And I found my coffee-cub collection.
One I got from Niue, painted by the wife from a Winboard user ...

If an WB user say to me, can I do a bit for you Frank ...
My answer was allways the same ... please send me a nice coffee-cup.
