Yes you are right about that particular occurrence. However, people should know that Nightmare has been around for quite a while as an original program by Buijs. I personally have known about it, and read about it, for at least 15 years! That's all. Still, I agree that the line should have been changed for other FICS people to see what they were playing. Djordje BTW, I run Ruffian (different versions) on FICS, nick is PopperX. Perhaps you might wish to play me -- I am using a P4 @ 3 Ghz currently.
