Re: [Bug-gnubg] Saving/viewing individual positions

[motiv4u]

Hello Thomas,

I do not see a reply here to your mail of Feb 23.
Rest assure *many* (or is it *a lot of*?) players are interested in a
simple way to review positions.

I'm on my way to Rotterdam right now, but if no one gets into this,
I'll take a look later this week.

Looking forward to a BGBlitz way to review positions.
