[Scid-users] Takeover denied -> Let us move forward

2007-02-13 Thread Dr. David Kirkby

I think current situation can be described as below: we have two people seriously willing to spend their time developing and enhancing Scid. On the other hand, it is clear that both find hard to work together. While I can understand calls for peace, I am a bit skeptical about them. If you spend
