Re: [misterhouse-users] voice command chess

Hi David  & all,

David had the great idea to use "sendkeys" as a quick way to communicate
with Winboard (or with "gnuchesr.exe", a command line version of gnuchess
for windows - which i use and which is included in the free winboard
package). Now, i am actually able to send my moves via voice command to the
chess engine- but - (unfortunately) for the chess engine's response i still
have to look at the screen. Any ideas how to access the i/o-stream of such a
(command line) program under windows with mh and thus be able to make it
pronounce its move?

Lennart

By the way, thanks to Kirk for the hint on "use eventlog" - seems to work...
