Hi,
I don't know what to think about openseal :
- first it should be modified because it uses stdin / stdout which is not
the correct behavior (it should establish local sockets instead)
- if the source file is to be released with Scid, this would break FICS
policy, given that some people may be able to cheat with time management,
and this is why FICS admin would have liked to keep this protocol secret
(but there are simpler ways of cheating at FICS).
So, as there are good binaries available for timeseal on nearly all
platforms, my intention is to generate a Pocket PC binary from a modified
version of openseal, nothing more.
