Hi,

I've had a look at that code but I've never used TCL and I know nothing 
about SCID's internal architecture, so I wasn't able to make much sense 
of it.

However, logically, I can't see that it would be *so* difficult to hack 
something together.  If I were to do this by hand, I would set up the 
game, start up the engine, set the multi-PV to the desired level, and 
then run it for, say, 30 seconds, hit the "Add All Variations", hit the 
"Next Move" button, and repeat until the end of the game.  I see that 
there's a routine for addAllVariations in analysis.tcl.  I assume 
there's a routine somewhere for the "Next Move" button as well.  Is 
there any way to run these two routines on a running SCID window every 
30 seconds, even if it's from an external console script?
