Hey, Tim...my ISP doesn't carry the gnu.chess newsgroup so I never got to 
hear your take on my suggestions for the future version of Winboard. If 
you don't mind...if you post any responses to my suggestions...please Cc 
the reply to this newsgroup rec.games.chess.computer, okay?

And by the way, what exactly DID you think of those suggestions? I 
personally thought they're workable. Multiple PGN index file opening from 
a database, for instance would be FANTASTIC. That would be a very nice 
New Year surprise. Coding that into Winboard shouldn't take too long. Of 
that I'm certain.
