Re: [pbmserv-dev] frustrating!

I usually test games by running them on my local linux box, with the
sendmail command replaced by a script which simply echos its stdin to the
terminal.  (Well actually, I change sendmail.cpp to call my script instead
of /usr/sbin/sendmail.)

This makes is much easier to debug, since the mail part is taken out, and
I just execute my moves from the command line.
