It works fine, be careful!

I just tried connecting to Fics. When I was invited to enter my nickname and password I did that, and immediately, to my dismay, one of the engines I have installed started a game against somebody- using my name!!

I was cheaaaating!

Happily I remembered the command "abort" , sent it and the adversary accepted.

So, if you add the "/zippyPlay=true" to your winboard.ini file, don't forget to create a new (computer) account before going to Fics.
