I think you can safely remove Tristram from the list.
For the last nine months (well, a few months out of
the last nine) I've been developing an object oriented
version of the program with its own GUI.  I don't
plan on continuing to support Winboard.  A Java
front end is planned, so the program can continue
to play on ICC, and I *may* add auto232.

I may change my mind, however, if someone can explain
why the program should continue to support Winboard.
Arasan does this I think - one version with its
own GUI and one that supports Winboard.
