Subject: Ok, nobody knows anything about Remus, so any speculation?

A computer account on FICS has been using a winboard program named Remus 3.0.
Since it was a new program (the account usually uses something else) and I had
never heard of it, I asked the operator where he had gotten it. He said he had
been browsing the web and stumbled upon an execute file and a book. No other
information was available. I got the URL, but by the time I tried to download
this mysterious engine, not even the directory that had contained it existed.

In any case, this engine is very strong. Positionally it plays very well, and
has a nice plus score against Insomniac (I can't tell how much of it is based on
its hardware advantage).

Does anybody have any information about this program? Or is the entire thing a
hoax? :)
