Just a quick reply to your latest response to my previous message. I
had almost finished a much longer, well-considerd and brilliantly worded
response when this laptop, which I really should abandon soon as my main
mail environment, did it's nasty trick of spontaneously rebooting and losing
the entire draft, which I'd neglect to save after every paragraph, as I'd
been trying to remember to do. So I now only have the patience to rewrite a
small sampling of my previous brilliant composition.
Re the supermove formulae, stand by, I obviously have to restudy it.
<<It would be a wonderful thing for all of us if you could be our official
solver tester. Build a main() that can call FcPro, PatSolve, Shlomi's and
each of the others that are out there, on one machine, with the same range
of deals, using the same number of freecells. >>
That sounds good in principle. but...........
I'm having fun for the moment dabbling once again in Freecell, but I
don't want it to become my permanent career. There's other stuff I'd like
to get back to. My first question, based on the fact that I'm virtually
totally ignorant of what's "out there" is, what is really out there? For
any future additions to FcPro, I think I'd want to make the rules that I'd
turn over the source to any author who'd like to be incorporated, and
he/she'd do the work of the implementation. I'd have to restrict this
carefully, in that I'd only turn over the narrow range of modules that would
need to be modified, and I'd do the final implementation from the source the
other authors would return to me. If you want to take it from there, fine.
Somebody has to take the time to contact other prospects and put the
proposition to them. Anyone who happens to be listening to this and wants
to contact me, I'd be glad to hear from.
Best regards, --------------Adrian
