Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I'm the packager of this software as well as the upstream author. The
Yahoo! Chess service has been permanently closed, so this software is
now defunct. This package should probably be removed from Debian
entirely as it serves no function anymore.
I uploaded the package as a mentee, so I lack the ability to manipulate
the package myself.

Package: yics 0.1.2-3
Yahoo! Chess client for use with FICS interfaces
This program connects to any of the free Yahoo! Chess lobbies and
pretends to be a FICS server, allowing many of the free FICS interfaces
to be used on Yahoo! Chess. YICS can be thought of as a protocol
translator or adapter: the binary Yahoo! Games protocol goes in one end
and the FICS server protocol comes out the other, and vice-versa.
.
YICS was tested the most with xboard, and works quite well with it. If
you prefer, you can use YICS without any graphical interface just as you
can telnet to FICS.
