Just some shameless advertising.
If any of you have been using my httptype program, there is a new version out. Get it from freshmeat. More than anything, the code is cleaner, and one bug in getting port numbers has been fixed.
I've also written an implementation of tictactoe that does not use lookahead. It can play any odd sized board (3, 5, 7) and will never lose except when playing second on boards of size 1. It's got a 9/10 rating on freshmeat.
