    You said "Once the source becomes available" ..... go to the authors site for the source.

    Unfortunately the source for for version 21.5 is not yet available. The source for version 20.9 is available on Dr. Hyatt's site but unfortunately not 21.5. It seems that Dr. Hyatt is not now the only developer working on Crafty.

    Could you now explain how my agreeing that engines often play badly when dropped into closed lines by a book file justifies your aggressive and rude reply?

    Is this what you are on about?

    That will not "save the engine". In this condition engines lose on time.

    I don't recall ever saying it would save anything. I doubt an 80% increase in calculation time on the first move out of book would cause the engine to lose on time since the engine has already had the benefit of several instant moves from book.

    Now perhaps you could turn your attention to justifying your rude and aggressive reply to my post.

    z00t seems to like aggressive and rude replies.

    I actually think he is trying to goad us into some sort of indiscretion to prove a pathetic point.

    You need to calm down and have your wife bring you "a nice cup of tea"

    I remember what happened last time she brought me a cup of tea. I got dumped into an unsuitable line when my book ran out and I uttered a number of profanities. I think I need more beer.

    Soooooooooo Dragon Fire,

    What is a jet bike? Does it burn Jet A? When someone like me reads that you have a jet bike I think of something that hauls but is a bit slow of the line. Is it available with an afterburner?

    A Jet Bike is a PWC (Personal Water Craft), you can sit on it, unlike a Jet Ski which you can stand on.

    It does about 30 knots when the sea is calm. I am not able to manage that very often.

    It is not as fast as your Jet Plane but I cannot afford one of those (yet!). Only very fast Jet Planes have after burners (to the best of my knowledge).
