\&\s-1ICB\s0 is based on Sean Casey's ForumNet (\*(L"forum\*(R" or \*(L"fn\*(R") 0.10, with his
permission. The new name was devised by Mark Giaquinto and John Atwood
DeVries. The actual code here is based on release 5.0.9 of the Tcl C\-Icb
client. It has been severely modified by a loose knit group of users who
can't seem to part with the traditional client code.
