Probably.

It only grows on a "book add", and it only accepts games from
decent players, but it is conceited.

Write permission is only for some options, I think read only is
fine if you don't use the options.

Someone probably crashes and burns - try it.

There isn't enough sanity checking on writes to files, reads
aren't that bad.

Always interested - I'm doing this to learn these things -
mostly I've think I've come to appreciate Java better so far ;)

As of last week there aren't any compiler warnings in the CVS
version at Savannah (finally). So probably some duplication of
effort going on here.

 Thanks,

Bounds checking next - what is the best open source tool I
wonder?
