Although I am an avid player of the BG servers I still must ask all
the BG netters out there if anyone wants to play BG via e-mail.
There is a real cool full-featured BG program for UNIX and VMS available
called "ldb" (long distance backgammon). It is screen oriented using curses.
It handles all the aspects of playing, putting the control email messages in
its own coded format which the player need not understand. All you have to
do is run the program which will read your mailbox, determine if there are
any ldb control messages and if so, will draw the board on the screen and
await your move. Lets have an ongoing game!! To get ldb just connect to an
ftp site that archives comp.sources.misc. I got mine at wuarchive.wustl.edu.
The directory is /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume28/ldb. Hope to hear from
you.
