Version 8 of PocketICS

Updated 2003-07-24 08:48:06

MNO - I've been working on a client for Internet Chess servers such as the ICC (chessclub.com) and FICS (freechess.org) for the PocketPC using Tcl/Tk for Windows/CE. The PocketICS (aka pICS) homepage is at http://www.oakden.org/mark/pICS

It's fairly crude at present, The internal state engine is very minimal and configuration screens etc. are currently unimplemented.

Unfortunately it doesn't work quite right on PocketPC yet. I used to have some peculiar issues - see PocketPC socket/fileevent strangeness but it seems these don't happen if I use the 8.4a2 port of Reiner Keuchel. I now have a number of other issues which currently make the interface mostly unplayable, but which I can at least now work on fixing :)

It currently looks a little like this:-

I will post a link to the software just as soon as I have solved the grossest bugs.
