Hi Magnus,
Can I use your examples and such and put a section in the web page?
As far as I know, CGOS has not been down. Unless it was somehow
preventing logins or something. The way to test is to bring up the
viewer, it will not come up at all if CGOS is down.
I put 3 weak programs on the 9x9 server just so that people would have
something to play against and Brain might be able to get things tested.
I'm also updating the archives, since December though Feb is missing.

Ok, here is what I do to connect to CGOS using Windows XP.
This citation is from the a box on the CGOS page:
"A note for Windows users: If you choose the Multi-platform starkit
route, please note that there are 2 types of tclkit's for your
platform. One is built with TK support (for GUI application) and is
probably not the one you want, although it can be made to work if you
know what you are doing. The one you want will have a name like
tclkitsh instead of tclkit or some variation of this. "
So one want to use the file tclkitsh for windows and nothing else.
I have a single line .bat file that look like this, which enable me to
stop the client by creating the file Quit.txt (with a second file
Quit.bat that copies itself to Quit.txt) and all activity is logged to
log.txt:
tclkitsh cgosGtp.kit -c config9.txt -k Quit.txt > log.txt
The file config9.txt look like this:
%section server
server cgos.boardspace.net
port 6867
%section player
name Valkyria3.2.7
password xxxx
invoke ..\\..\\ValhallGTP.exe time threadengine ponder
priority 7
You need to use '\\' instead of '/' in the path to your program I think.
Note that as far as I know the 9x9 server has not been running for
over a week, so this is of course also a reason for not beeing able to
connect to it...
I find it useful to use the viewer for testing if CGOS is running, and
the log file is also immediately helpful.
I hope this will help.
Also, since the 9x9 server is down, some programs are actually playing
13x13 right now so it would be fun if more programs did that, since it
is so rare that any programs at all play 13x13.
