Re: [XBoard-devel] movelist messages on ICS

[Joshua Pettus]

My experience with chessclub.com is a little limited as I never bothered 
paying for a full account but, the command I always used to launch it was:

xboard -ics -icshost 207.99.83.228 -icshelper timestamp


I don't know about the -telnet -telnetProgram options.  Perhaps they are 
obsolete/unmaintained?  They are definitely redundant.
