Apparently lots of people have downloaded this engine but it doesn't
appear to be downloadable anymore.

TIA

Engine no longer required. Apparently my email system isn't capable of
accepting a file of Rybka's size anyway.

Thanks to those who emailed me.

Correct. It is no longer available. It was only available for download
briefly. A few of us were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right
time to get a free copy of the beta version. That was an excellent marketing
promotion method, like a sneak preview of a new movie. Scuttlebutt says the
author had received 200+ requests so that made a few people happy, at least!
:) Rumor says it will be formally released at the end of December as a
full-fledged version (not a beta) with a retail price of $40 U.S., more or
less. This is all hearsay, nothing official.
