Zippy, ICS and the "computer" command

Postby Matthew Hull » 09 Jan 2007, 18:27

In zippy.c, you can see where it checks for the "* is in the computer list" string from ICS, and the comments say the "computer" command will eventually be sent to the program, but I can't see that it ever sends this string. I have code that waits for "computer\n" to know when it is playing ICC computer accounts (as opposed to human accounts), but the only time it ever encouters the "computer" command is when I send it myself using the zippyPassword2 facility. Is anyone else keying off the "computer" command in ICS mode?

Thanks,

Ok, I can see where it's sending the "computer" command in zippy.c. But for some reason, my code is not picking it up (at least not in ICS mode) unless I send it manually. Can anyone verify their program recieves the "computer" command automatically when playing computer accounts on ICC?

Thanks,
