The reason for one automatic and one manual is that my partner has a server that he has connected to the Internet 24 hours a day, so we'll get one ICC account and attach it there. I will run the manual version on FICS at my home since I will not feel like getting a second ICC account to run it twice on one server (and I do not want my home PC up and running a lot when I am not there, but maybe I will run it automatically on FICS on occasion). But at the moment, I have bigger fish to fry (I just bought a PIII 450 and motherboard, and Win 98 crashes every 15 minutes, so I have to find out what is causing the problem). > >Looking forward to see you and your engine there, > >Heiko. I was hoping end of July, but that looks doubtful. But, one day... KarinsDad :)
