The original was by Pascal Bouron for ZPong 85.
Jimmy Mardell modified it for Ztetris.
I modified it further for Checkers.

  The only difference the Checkers' linkrout.h and the Ztetris linkrout.h. 
In Ztetris, the sending calculator waits for the other calculator to 
respond. In Checkers, the receiving calculator waits for the other to 
respond.
