== Popeye ==

[[Popeye (chess)|Popeye]] is probably the most widely chess problem solving software. By itself, Popeye has no graphical interface, but it can be used in DOS, Windows, [[Linux]], [[MACMacOS]] and manyother OSoperating othersystems since it comes with source code in [[C programming language]] which can be compiled. Popeye is one of the best solving programs. It can solve problems with many fairy pieces and conditions, and can output to [[LATEX]].

The original author of Popeye was Philippe Schnoebelen; the first version was written in [[COMAL]] (around 1989). Later a group of people converted and rewrote the code to C and now are in charge of maintaining new versions; the main contributors were [[Elmar Bartel]], [[Norbert Geissler]], [[Thomas Maeder]], [[Torsten Linss]], [[Stefan Hoening]], [[Stefan Brunzen]], [[Harald Denker]], [[Thomas Bark]] and [[Stephen Emmerson]].
