I also rewrote the PDP-11 assembler parts of the program in C, but there are still a few problems. There seems to be a bug in the move evaluation, as some moves are not given the correct weighting. Other than that, it all seems to work. I do not have the time or inclination to go into it further, but am willing to share my code with others if they are so inclined. If there are people out there who were involved in the original development of the program, I would like to get in contact with them to understand how the program works.
