[Bug-gnubg] Using GNUBg ID

Using GNUBg ID

Hi there.

I am managing BBS for backgammon.
I use backgammon board image everyday in my BBS.
Usually, I make Backgammon board image(HTML) by hand, but it is not
work for human :-)

Now I challenge make program that is GNUBg ID translate to board image(HTML).

GNUBg ID sample is looks like "g9vBASSYZ8wBBg:cIkmAQAAAAAA" on the top
in GNU backgammon.

This is at work.
http://vmware.kinchan.com/cgi-bin/makeboard.cgi

I have questions.
I check GNUBg ID is correct or not only how many letters.
( Position ID + ":" + Match ID is 27 letters )

Do you have another idea ?

I think match ID have some bit that is not use, so it use check digit is fine.

And
I have arbitrary request.

Now, the position export plain text bye GNU backgammon,

Display GNUBg ID is

---------------------------------------------
 GNU Backgammon  Position ID: g9vBASSYZ8wBBg
                 Match ID   : cIkmAQAAAAAA
---------------------------------------------

I love
----------------------------------------------------------
 GNU Backgammon  GNUBg ID   : g9vBASSYZ8wBBg:cIkmAQAAAAAA
----------------------------------------------------------

Because, in my use, cut & past is easy. :-)

Thank you for reading.

Have a nice day.
