Agreed. And I did look briefly into the possibility of fixing them.
Reenabling the ability to join ongoing games is easy enough. This makes it
possible for cconq to connect to tcltk/mac games and vice versa. However,
the result is not a playable game. Nor is it possible to play two cconq
apps against each other this way.
It might still be possible to modify -join so that it is used as a shortcut
alternative to the startup dialogs rather than to join ongoing games, but
it would be no easy task.
