FICS Server Source

I recently had a brilliant idea that will probably be kept secret for a while. For it, I needed access to the source code of the FICS server. I wasn't able to discover the source used to create the current version, but there is a version from 1994 available that has all the basics, which is really all I want.

You can get it at their FTP site. Only one of the files there is usable, one is 6MB and throws an FTP error when accessed. It's a tar/gz file, so WinRar or 7zip is necessary to access it. It contains a whole bunch of stuff written in C; the interesting parts are in FICS-distrib.

Please note that, as it is released under GPL, you must provide any modifications to the source upon request. (The current FICS admins are technically violating this stipulation; the current version has changed hands a few times.)
