The manpage states explicitly concerning IRC play: "The version numbers of all participating programs must be equal." I assume that you found some players using a different implemention of XSkat that advertises itself as version 4.0, leading to this mismatch. Quite possibly even the majority of IRC players use a different implemention, given that there hasn't been a new upstream release of this package here in 20 years now, and that the upstream homepage / author seems to be missing. With that in mind, I wouldn't like to arbitrarily change the program version to make it compatible to certain other programs out there, of which I don't even know which are popular and how compatible they actually are. However, I might be totally wrong on this, as I have just casually glanced over the code now. And the above contains a log of assumptions that might all be unfounded. If anyone has more insight into this, that'd be greatly welcome. Marking this issue correspondingly. Still, with upstream absent (cf. #1051639), and the code aging (cf. #1075683), and me not using the package anymore (cf. #933098), the general situation doesn't look all too rosy for XSkat ...
