[ Correction - In the last posting, scam's address was listed as 128.32.183.1. This was an error. The correct address is: 128.32.138.1. Dyslexia strikes again. :) ] I wrote 'xgo' three or so years ago. It was quite a hack job at the time, and I am quite embarassed at the coding. Anyway, I may have an X11 version of xgo soon. I will be posting about it when it approaches completion. It should support the basic functionality of xgo and will be compabable with previous versions of internet go. Also, a multi-developer project is taking place with 'mgt' to greatly enhance the features and compatability of 'mgt'. Currently, there are about 5 developers in on the discussions, three of which are involved in code changing. If you are interested in joining in on the project, contact me and I will add you to the mailing list. The project is moving a little slow right now, as it is just beginning and the source-code management is not quite automated. Later, I will release source code for a RCS-by-mail project development system if anyone is interested. Finally, I am going to support the following at scam.berkeley.edu as an archive until further notice: (ftp to 128.32.138.1) (check src/local & src/games for the following) - go.players: a list of players avaliable for internet games or play-by-email, includes rank & address [send your name if you want to be on this list] - go.shar.Z: the latest internet go program - mgt.shr*.Z: the latest 'mgt' display program - mgt.series.*: a set of game & problem collections in smart-go format Send any additions, corrections, or suggestions to me. \\// Greg 'All Black Stones Die' Hale, alias "The Leprechaun Guy" o----o Internet: hale@scam.Berkeley.EDU (128.32.138.1) \__/ UUCP: ...!ucbvax!scam!hale (415) 849-9475
