I asked the author of Rabbit to join some time ago, and I don't recall the
reason he gave for declining, it might have been that he's not on ICC.

Yes, the list is for programs that can interface to ICC.  Fics would be fine as
well, but we chose ICC simply because there's a bit more action there.  There
are serveral fine programs that play on fics, and I have asked their authors to
consider our list if they ever get an ICC account.  Fortress is one, Rabbit,
Cilian, Parrot, more.

The blitz rating was chosen because that's the preferred mode of play for most
people and programs on ICC.  It also gives an alternative strength reading to
that of tournament or match play, which, due to the samll number of games
played, can be misleading.

If you know of anyone who wants to be listed, just email me, there's no other
requirement other than to have an ICC account (and not to be too strong!)
