I don't think that's correct - NNGS was a functional copy of IGS created by duplicating the published (telnet based) interfaces. It eventually was open sourced before it died. > (ii) NNGS might be used as possible base of a modern go server.

NNGS is alive and well as software, but no one is actively running a copy for human use as far as I know. Boardspace is still running a completely ignored copy, intended to be used by robots. http://boardspace.net/nngs/ If one wanted to develop a client for the blind, you could certainly start with a NNGS clone as your target server, and one of the open source IGS clients as your client. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
