From: Chris Sterritt MRJ COM> Date: 10 sep 1993 Subject: Forwarded message from Ton Hospel Hello to all, I just got the following email, which the sender would like me to post for him. Additionally, there is the host bsdserver.ucsf.edu which might be nearer for ftp that the .be host, where you can get various IGS client programs. I'm going to get one or more of the clients and give them a try; more news as it happens! --chris sterritt >Date: Fri, 10 Sep 93 12:10 BST >From: amd mail ast cam ac uk (Andrew Dunn) >To: STERRITT mrj com >Subject: IGS go clients > > >Hi there, > I just tried to post a reply to your message on SHOGI-L, but it >seems I am not authorised to do so.
