Subject: Shogi playing program for the Macintosh: found !

OK, everybody with a Macintosh, here it comes:
"Shogi", a Shogi playing program for the Macintosh.
 
I only had one nasty crash (not reproducable), which might or might
not have had anything to do with "Shogi", but then I run 20+ INITs.
If it had anything to do with "Shogi", it was probably selecting the
sound option that did it. It works on a MacII, I'll try it later today
on a MacPlus as well.
 
The program is very week, it has one advantage: it is Public Domain.
It has one disadvantage: it works best with KanjiTalk, the Japanese
Operating System for the Macintosh ($60 from APDA -- which is worth the
money anyway, I'd say). Without KanjiTalk the menu items are a bit
gibberish, looking like @'%"g? and so on. Since most Mac-users know
what the menus would look like this is not a big problem. There are
also icons accompanying the (textual) menu items, which makes it
easier to select the proper ones. Also, most items are dimmed, anyway.
I would say, try it out.
 
I have not yet permission to upload it to one of the Mac-archives.
So for the time being, if you want a copy, please let me know and I'll
send you a StuffIt'ed BinHex'ed file.
 
Cheers,
