I'm very interested in this too, because at some point I'd like to add the ability to work with games and positions in Zyzzyva as well. It would be great if we could get some design discussion going on this list for a common XML format to represent games and/or positions. (Sorry I can't start the design discussion myself at this moment - things are going to be very crazy for me through early next week.) > So, first integrating an XML library into libquackle would be great.

Then everything else, which would then be easy. I don't know if libquackle itself uses Qt, but Qt has a nice XML library of its own. I use it in Zyzzyva for loading and saving quizzes, searches, etc. http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/qtxml.html -- Michael W Thelen It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. -- Douglas Adams Yahoo!
