GTP was a huge change in protocol with clear benefits. What's being quibbled over now is minor change in the coordinate system at the cost of breaking all existing tools, with the exception of a couple that have implemented this incompatible change. The benefit does not outweight the cost. -Jeff _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
