If we are going to send games out over the net, let's do it right:

First, establish a standard form for game scores that is computer
readable.

Some of us will doubtless write programs to playback
the games.  I hope these will be shared.  Please consider the
following:

(1) A program in C to play them back on a 24*80 garden variety terminal
(obviously, the whole board is not visible at once).

(2) A program in BASIC to play a game back on a personal computer.
The program will have a simple interface to the computer-dependent
graphics necessary to display as much of the board as possible.

(3) A program in C to assist people playing a game back over the board,
by prompting the next move, and assisting with move takebacks.
