The index.html page can be used to register a new player or [by a registered player] to Login to BOARD18.
It also can be used [by a registered player] to recover a lost login ID or a lost password.

Most of the JavaScript logic for index.html is in the scripts/board18index.js file.

The index.html page also uses the scripts/board18com.js file and some other open source JavaScript files.
Style is supplied by the style/board18Index.css and the style/board18com.css files.
