I have on occasion set my program to play simuls on ICC ('finger macaronibot')
It can be done very easily using winboard, (at least if you have access to the
code of the program you are using). Simply make it output 'simulize' to the ICC
when each game starts, and have it call 'gameend' (putting out more seeks)
straight after that. This way it will start a game, and put a new seek out
straight away. Winboard handles multiple games by using the 'setboard' command.
The only real issue is time management, crafty on any normal setting would use
waaaay to much time when playing multiple games, so you would have to limit it's
time in some way. Read the Zippy readme file (comes with winboard), this
explains something about simuls :)
hope this helps
