Oleg,
Sorry for the attachment. I downloaded the zip file of Arasan 9.5 for
windows http://www.arasanchess.org/downld.html and found the Engineco.cpp in
which the thread and write/read to/from any chess engine (it seems that all
engines could be used as soon as they do stdin/stdout); I did not run it but
I did use another engine from http://transversale.fr/Arion/Arion.htm. If I
run Arion from a start/execute windows I enter a move such as 'e2e4' and the
engine do some calculation, display about 20 lines and a proposal such as
'move e7e6' and wait for the next input. With my J program, Arion always
receives something similar at what it would receive if I just do enter from
the windows console and display an error message and then loop.
Hope it is a little bit clearer...

Please send the text inline. Preferably
a very small program that demos each necessary
operation just once, not the whole chess session.
And a brief instruction what do I need to do
to download, install and run the chess engine
with that C++ program on Windows
(of course Windows, what else is "task" for :) ).
