There is apparently an Xconq bug (using the sources recommended by Jim, plus my delay command fix) when attempting to set up a net game with more than 2 players. Trying to network 3 instances of Xconq under either Windows or Linux results in a message about trying to assign 4 players to 3 sides (even though there is not a fourth player and the indepside is not an active participant), and then lots of screwiness follows, including one of the 3 players getting kicked out of the game.

I personally don't feel like fixing this bug right now.

Eric
