***************************************************************

Lex, chess.net is NOT compatible with ICC or FICS. That is why you cannot use
Winboard for chess.net without accuclock. Any Interface other than chess.net for
Windows must use accuclock. Unfortunately the chess server, chess.net, has made
their site to work with only their cnfw or with accuclock. Now, there must be
some particular problem causing the difficulty Ernst is having with transmitting
moves. I believe this has to do with accuclock. I noticed that the downloaded
accuclock has the MS-DOS name ACCUCLCK.EXE. I find it odd that the file name has
a different spelling. In any case, if there is someone using Rebel-Tiger at
chess.net - as Ernst has stated - then we must find out who that individual is
and DEMAND to know how it was done...OR ELSE!!!
