Frisk is a network capable version of the classic board game.
Frisk stands for Free Risk or Feingold Risk, depending on whether I'm
feeling philanthropical or egotistical.  It is based on the Parker
Brothers classic game, and I assume that they hold all the rights to
the original game.  

Frisk is my programming magnum opus in many respects.  It is the first
full-length Xt/Xaw program I have written, and also the first to use
UNIX network primitives.  Because of this, I am sure that in some
places my code will be non-optimal.  I would greatly
appreciate feedback on it, either in the form of suggestions for
improvements, or "Man, your code sucks..." (although the latter might
cause psychological damage).

I have problems releasing because of my firewall situation.  I am posting
the program to comp.x.sources also, but people have been nice enough to
help me by receiving Frisk by mail, uudecoding it, and then ftp-ing it.
Thanks to Sam Lantinga, Bruno Levy, and Al Longyear for this.

Enjoy, and please send feedback, bug reports to feingold@zko.dec.com
