From: Matthias Mutz KIRK FMI UNI-PASSAU DE> Date: 13 apr 1993 Subject: distribution of GNU Shogi and XShogi GNU Shogi and XShogi are now distributed by GNU. The current "official" versions are GNU Shogi 1.0 (patchlevel 11) and XShogi 1.0 (patchlevel 11). >From now on, I will only count official patchlevels. You still can retrieve the latest "unofficial" updates by anonymous FTP from forwiss.fmi.uni-passau.de (132.231.1.10) changing directory to pub/local/shogi. The patchlevel number will always be the official number incremented by one. Updates can only be detected by comparing the file sizes. Unfortunately, I had only time to remove bugs and to do some "cosmetic" changes. Major changes in playing strength will result in a change of the version number. I have appended the official introduction of GNU Shogi. Maybe, you can find a proper FTP site. Matthias. mutz kirk fmi uni-passau de ---------------------------------- GNU Shogi and its protege GNU X Shogi play the Japanese version of Chess known as "Shogi." The major difference from Western Chess is that captured pieces can be returned into play. The latter is the X windows front end for GNU Shogi. The former is the brain/engine which actually plays the Shogi. The distributions are on prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38) in pub/gnu, via anonymous ftp: -rw-r--r-- 1 14910 wheel 150449 Mar 30 23:07 gnushogi-1.0.6.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 14910 wheel 120617 Mar 30 23:07 xshogi-1.0.6.tar.Z Send any and all problems to bug-gnu-shogi prep ai mit edu.
