not sure if this helps you, but you might also try and "finger mastergamebot" on fics. it will give you more handles, as it cross-stores opponent's names that have long disappeared from a player's history.
---------- you wrote: I am not sure that it is a good idea. The point is that my script send about 3000 finger and history commands to FICS server. I guess that FICS admins will not happy if several people will execute my script simultaneously. I have generated the list of FICS demo accounts using very simple idea. I started from demo account of "Adams, Michael" (FICS login "GMAdams"). Then execute history GMAdams and then executes history comands for every player from the "history GMAdams" output and so on and so forth.
