The sortcache code is great and credits go to Gerd who wrote the most part of it (i just added multi-threading; i hope i gave him the right credits in the commit log). If there are bugs (that i am not aware of) they surely can be fixed, but every serious chess player who knows how useful is to have for a given position: the last games played, the annotated games or when was the last time that white won this position should send him a thank mail. I remember that the first time i tried the code i thought: if Chessbase will found this they will sure try to steal it! It is incredibly, amazingly, spectacularly, wonderfully fast (and you know how i hate slow software) and it should be (from memory) maybe 50 time faster than the old sorting code or Chessbase sorting (the last time i tried a long time ago). What i am missing?

I tryed to compile them in scidvspc and i noticed the missing clone function, so now i understand why you can't just take them. I will look at it more carefully when i will have a little more time. > May i ask you about OS X support ? I spent quite some months working > on this.

(kidding :-) I don't use Macs but i believe that supporting OS X is very important and i trust in you ;) I will be pretty busy in the week-end, but i'm confident that at the beginning of the next week the code for the promised 4.4 release will be ready (for nostalgics: the last one with the veeery old gamelist window: is it still the original written by Shane?). Next the replacement of the gamelist window with the one written by Steven (do you think it will be difficult? there are many dependency outside the gamelist.tcl file?)
