The latter is indeed sometimes helpful, still Scid should at one time
not get confused if one doesn't do it.

Hi
Thanks a lot! Now I've had the chance to try this import.tcl version
out, and for the intended purpose it works like a charm!
I also tried to see what happens if you try to open a zipped PGN-file
directly with this version of scid - it's no catastophy, but it's
certainly not good! But the ag

Hm. This could indeed be helpful.

Hi
In my opinion, TWIC is much more than just the - very nice - downloadable
games! I think there are two ways to improve Scid's handling of these
(games).
1. I would be helpful if Scid acquired the ability to import zipped
pgn-files (that is not easily accomplished, but might be possible)
2. I wou

De rien. :) We'll see if there is a solution possible later on.

Alex,
Thank you for this complete response and for the time you invested in
this. We now have a very complete response for those who ask.
I will forward the message to the forum where it comes from. And I
will put it on my FAQ, which might be on-line next month, if all goes
well. This kind of

Ok, here's how things go:
- It's technically feasible
- It's even trivial
BUT: we will not do it

This remark is unnecessary, demeaning, and simply untrue.

Maybe I was easy to missunderstand. I didn't mean "should
not" but I said I think it would not be necessary. Still it
is nice to ask anyway.

In my humble opinion, we should hook to TWIC. There should not be any
principled reason not to, since we already have chosen to hook to FICS
specifically. (If other game providers would like to have Scid
hooked, let them do the footwork !)
If there is no hook, a simple script with wget should g

Hello,
At least three persons in a chess forum told me that they will stick
to Chessdb as long as they can upload and append PGN games directly
into their chess database.
I know there was a problem with implementing that in Scid, as TWIC did
not say it was ok to hook Scid to its site. Or somethi
