      Hello John,

Here is a good new.
I shall receive your program with big pleasure and I shall then miss to 
invite players of the PBM to server to play it this very big game of 
Xiangqi.
Thanks by advance!

PS : I ask all the English speakers of this site to excuse my probably 
very approximate English. I am french.


             Greetings
