In another discussion in winboard forum, many programmers showed dissatisfaction, because they couldn't create any accounts in FICS. Besides how are they gonna verify that I am the original programmer and I have a unique engine that no one else has? Besides from someone in FICS who had computer account, he told me that, if you know people around (the admins), it is very easy to get accounts he said he has 3 comp accounts! figure that! cheers, pavs ;)
