Go up one level in this thread


Peter,
I think this is a great idea!
As WinBoard has became the standard interface for chess programs, CDB
could become the standard opening library.

As you know I have problems with entering CDB by Telnet...

Has anybody managed to logon to CDB by using Telnet in Win95
environment?
