A fork of Scid at a certain point in the code. Steve could comment on 
his motivation in more detail. But if I remember correctly there was 
basically a disagreement on which GUI widgets to use.

Additionally, Steve worked more on game playing features and tried some 
limited 960 support.

As far as I'm concerned @scid, I'd happily see quite some functions in 
Steves code to come back into Scid, though I found that some would need 
a bit of work.

As I said it started out as a fork.

Well, the hack is to just rename the created scid to scidvspc. Should go 
into Steves makefile, I agree.
