Hm, ok. I might investigate how icsDrone (ex-RoboFICS) can be altered
to follow the newer protocol and write to the maintainer about it.

By the way, the weakest (66 MHz PPC-601 on AIX 4.2) of the three robots 
I run on SICS has now been upgraded from GNU Chess 5.04 to 5.05. So far 
I  haven't seen any improvement when it plays the other two computers 
(Gnuches 4.0pl80 and GNU Chess 5.04, both on P200MMX). I'm pondering
whether adding compiler optimization or updating the compiler from 
gcc 2.95 to gcc 3.x would make any difference in the generated code, 

I also noticed some oddness in the ./configure script submitted with
GNU Chess, like spurious "32" in the test programs compiled which will
make gcc choke and the configure script fail. Other than that, it does
compile quickly and without errors.
