Snipping code would be tricky.  It's a fairly large program.  None of 
the objects that are important are ever, EVER, not referenced somehow.  
Everything is stored in arrays, and transferred around in arrays.  
Objects on the server are moved from array to array by the client 
calling methods using DRb.  What kind of code would you want me to show 
you to prove this?

# on the server
DRb.start_service($uri, server.game)

# on the client
DRb.start_service
game = DRbObject.new(nil, "druby://#{ipfield.text}:#{$port}")  #
File.open($deck_dir + filefield.text.strip, "r"){|file| 
game.add_player(namefield.text, file.gets)}

then the client operates by making repeated method calls on "game"
