The new system is FIBS (first internet backgammon server) based.
it's "real" (vs. integer).    And the issue is serious changes to
the code architecture.  Essentially, I need to move all the rating 
from it's own class to a "part" of the Game class, so it can be 
inherited by each game engine.

I've got them today (while my wife is at a baby shower... we're having
fun laughing at the dog...  (he's being silly for some reason...)

He's a big hairy dog.. hence the name.  a little over 4.. acting like
a pupppy today.
