I used "spawn" (from task.ijs) and I understand now that the chess engine is
always requiring some data and loops with a reply such as 'invalid
command,try...' until the variable which receives the data is 32meg. and J
hangs... I don't know how to modify the ReadAll so that the loop would not
occur and the process would only wait until new data colud be sent to the
engine. Is that possible ?

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] stdin/stdout
Was the chess engine actually designed to communicate with other programs
with stdin/stdout? As Joey pointed out, stdin/stdout usually buffered so
that it may not be suitable for interactive communication. I guess you
have to find out the exact communication protocol first.

I would like to use a chess engine , such as Arion
http://transversale.fr/Arion/Arion.htm . I am writing a GUI to play chess
with J (using grid) and would like to add as an extra, such an engine.
This program is a windows application using stdin and stdout to read
chess moves and write possible solutions. I tried other similar engines
without success. I think I miss something in the use of pipes...or is it
impossible to do it ?
I did try the shell, fork and spawn, but it does not work in my case.
I
tried to use the verbs createPipe and CreateProcess but without
success.
Instead J is not responding...The createProcess is fine but when I want
to
Read or Write thru a Pipe, I have to close the process manually.
Any other track ?
Thanks for help
