Hi I just played a bit with gnu-readline support for XBoard and it seems to be working fine when logging into FICS. The FICS prompt will still be displayed, but when you type text you get a new "xboard>" prompt and have a command history, command line editing, etc.
I still need to add check to configure.ac and Makefile.am, so that you can disable readline usage. But that should not be that hard ;) At the moment you can try it out from my git-tree at: http://nubati.net/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/xboard/log/?h=gnu-readline Once I got the configure stuff sorted out, I'll push it to the master branch. Feel free to test and let me know what you think. cheers ARUN
