Timeseal is a protocol for network lag reporting and compensation used
|
|
|
|
|
by the FICS chess server (freechess.org). Version 2 of the protocol
|
|
|
|
|
provides better delay stats as the server actively pings the client
|
|
|
|
|
periodically. FICS's FTP repository was taken down a few years ago
|
|
|
|
|
and was never put back on. Since then, there has been nowhere to
|
|
|
|
|
download a trustable timeseal client for Linux systems.

To use with xboard, append "-icshelper zseal" to your normal xboard
|
|
|
|
|
command line:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xboard -ics -icshost freechess.org -icsport 5000 -icshelper zseal

Assuming Slackware's gnuchess package is already installed on
|
|
|
|
|
your system, the install script will integrate and enable zseal in
|
|
|
|
|
eboard automatically. Otherwise, follow the instructions for eboard
|
|
|
|
|
configuration in /usr/doc/zseal-1.0/README.
