Subject: ICS Client Software

As I mentioned about a week ago I've been working on a BBC ICS (internet chess  
server) client.

With a few reservations it is complete, and IT WORKS! It doesn't handle flow  
control very well, so it occasionaly gets confused (its also a little slow in  
displaying receiced text, but I've got a fix for that), but basically its about  
as good as the NeXT ICS client, with the advantage it runs on nice 8-bit  
hardware.

It needs an AMX mouse ROM to be present, but a mouse is not necessary (though  
if you haven't got one I'd recomend using the super art ROM so you can enter  
moves with a joystick/cursor keys rather than manually).

If anyone wants to try it out then mail me, and I'll distribute copies.
