Re: [computer-go] how to use GTP in place of GMP

[Don Dailey <drd@xxxxxxx>]

I did  the UNIX remote  shell part  of the GTP  test and it  worked as
expected and only took 5 minutes to set up.

I'm playing autotest games with  my local autotester program now.  One
of  the programs is  running on  a computer  in Massachusetts  and the
other is running on a computer  in Virginia.  I did not write any code
to do this, all I did was invoke the programs from ssh (a remote shell
utility.)

The program invocation looks like  this (the first "field" is a handle
my autotester system uses for reporting.)

progA  ssh don@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ./playgo -r -b pattern.brain -o A.log -l 3
progB  ssh drd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ./playgo -r -b simple.brain -o B.log -l 3

If I run everything locally it's this:

progA  ./playgo -r -b pattern.brain -o A.log -l 3
progB  ./playgo -r -b simple.brain -o B.log -l 3

The trick is  making this work in Windows  because you normally cannot
"log in" to a windows machine to use it directly. 

The TCP stuff  you guys are kicking around is a  good solution, but it
will be interesting to know if it can be solved without any additional
programming, whether  it's actually done or not  and without requiring
the GO programmer to worry about TCP stuff.
