Substitute

Overview

An application that relays the messages exchanged between a user and another application (typically a chess engine, but it can be something else).

Usage

Substitute is a command line tool of the same kind (although much less sophisticated) as InBetween by Odd Gunnar Malin, or as UciFilter by Volker Annuss. Instead of starting an engine, you start Substitute with the engine name as parameter (or written in substitute.ini). Substitute creates a file (substitute.log) where you can see the messages sent by the user and the messages sent by the engine.

Compilation

Substitute is a Pascal program, for the Free Pascal Compiler. It has been tested only under Linux, but should work also under other environments.

To compile the program you can use the following command:

fpc -Mobjfpc -Sh substitute.pas
