The cgos3-darwin.zip client on the web site will attach you to the 9x9
server - unless you actually modify it by unwrapping it,  changing it,
then wrapping it back up.      If you want,  I will wrap up a version
that will work for 19x19.     

I really should take some time to make this more usable (configurable) ...
