Re: Zippy Talk

Just to be clear: I had seen the message posted on WB forum about this, 
but I did not respond because I simply have no idea what it is about.
I hoped that someone who actually was knowledgeable on the subject would 
respond.
I never used "Zippy talk" myself, and have only a very vague notion of 
what it is supposed to do. I have never looked at the code for it,
and I am not really interested doing so: it does not seem a 
functionality that has anything to do with Chess per se.
