Help, someone having Free Pascal

Sorry for bothering you, but I'd need the following program compiled
32-bit (with Free Pascal) and I don't have a suitable PC to do it myself.

http://www.mit.jyu.fi/~huikari/NEROWB.PAS

The program is a chess engine for WinBoard-GUI. WinBoard needs 32-bit
engines and my old PC does 16-bit exe-files only.

I have got some compilations and they work! BUT not totally perfect.
In Procedure set_initial_pos a minor change has to be done. The first
command there said forcing:=true;
There should be forcing:=false instead!

(Otherwise my engine doesn't play against human with black pieces)

So I ask that I could get compilation with this thing corrected.

The correct source is now updated to:
http://www.mit.jyu.fi/~huikari/NEROWB.PAS

Thanks!

I got one but it stopped to some run time error after end of book moves.

So could someone still compile this
http://www.mit.jyu.fi/~huikari/NEROWB.PAS

AND Run it, and type command line a2a3<enter> to see the possible
Run time error...

command quit<enter> stops the program.

Thanks!

I will look into this tonight (don't have access to Windows systems atm)

It compiles, I put it at
www.stack.nl/~marcov/nerowb.exe

It is upx packed and 40kb.

If I do a2a3, it replies "move b8c6"

It compiles with FPC too. Probably a flaw in TMT. Maybe it is wise to submit
it to the TMT team.

Did you need to modify it? FPC compiled it right away.

Could you send me the delphi file too?
