I'm not expert on task.ijs and Oleg should know this better. However you may
emulate unbuffered behaviour by flushing file buffer after every writing. Google
for "win32 flush file buffer" should return the exact api and usage.
Hop this help.

Yes, in the task.ijs developped by Oleg Kobchenko, the
WriteFile/ReadFile use handles and win32api. How can i specify
unbuffered versus buffered ?

I used "spawn" (from task.ijs) and I understand now that the chess

that the loop would not occur and the process would only wait until
new data colud be sent to the engine. Is that possible ?
Assuming the chess engine has unbuffered stdin/stdout, you may tried
use win32 api to obtain the handle of stdin/stdout and set them
unbuffered. And then use these handles for i/o instead of J 1!:xxx
conjunctions.
