I recall downloading some source and could not verify any of his wild claims.

I wasn't even able to locate any source code for GAFS.

"The Edge" in Rybka Forum is (to people with less than 500 posts).

There are different layers of concealment, Engine Origins is hidden to guests (akin to RF's "The Flip Side" in this characteristic).

Perhaps I mis-spoke using the word source, although the site does have some -- but "stuff" should have been more like it.

Anycase, on the original thread, I believe my argument was that there's no evidence of cloning -- that being the implication.

To the point about Conkie and his wild claims, here he is regarding Robert Houdart and Houdini:

I don't Don. I think he knows nothing about anything. There has been nothing technical from him ever. Not once.....ever.

I don't even think he compiles it......there you go and now you know what I think.

I'm pretty sure he is the front for something made by someone else. I'd stake good money on it in fact.



FWIW
