His email address is seki csoo mcg nml mot com, and we are in email contact in order to create a stronger version. Seki-san is also working on an english version. For GNU Shogi 1.1p01, there exists an english version, but it is very weak. Due to our co-operation I hope we will be able to make the Mac version almost as good as the UNIX version. The new version is based on GNU Shogi 1.1p02. We are now working on a Mac version for GNU Shogi 1.2p01, which is not yet available for UNIX. It was planned to take part at the computer shogi championship with this latest version. Unfortunately, GNU Shogi could not take part at the computer shogi championship. At the announce of the championship in Shogi-l it was said that programs could be introduced at the championship day. In fact, the deadline for submissions of programs was in October. So, we were to late. So, you may wait for the english Mac version, which I could provide for the listserver of Shogi-l. Matthias Mutz. [programmer of GNU Shogi] mutz fmi uni-passau de
