capture gamedata (Internet-Backgammon)

[Guest]

Hi Community,

in my degree dissertation, I want to analyse the tcp-data-stream of the game
"Internet-Backgammon" (integrated in Windows XP). While searching for
information I found the programm "CaptureLog"
(http://www.wingflyer.com/zoneutilities/), which in my understanding does
this for the MSN-Zone-registered-members-only backgammon
(http://zone.msn.com/en/backgammon/default.htm). I have to capture the game
data (moves, chatlog, etc.), write it to a database and analyze it
afterwards. Therefor I would ask your advise how the programm managed to
extract the information. Are there any APIs / libraries / developer-panels /
OpenSource-Software you can recomment? I would appreciate any information you
can give me.

Yours sincerely
Stefan Keil
