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. -Mark -- ========================================================================== || Mark Rubin || Don't let your schooling interfere with || || mrubin@ra.cs.umb.edu || your education. || || UMass/Boston || -Mark Twain || ==========================================================================
