Subject: challenge button for XShogi

***  XShogi extension :  new "challenge" button ***
 
I would like to report about a new button in the XShogi program (XShogi
is an X Windows interface for GNU Shogi; the sources of the two programs
are freely distributed by the GNU project; UNIX platforms).
 
After pressing the new "challenge" button, XShogi asks for a remote display
you want to connect with. Then it creates a XShogi board on the remote
display (if your host is allowed to connect). After pressing "force" (on
one of the two displays), you can engage a two human player game using
XShogi as a common interface!
 
WARNING: this is the first try. It works on our machines, but I couldn't
try it out on other machines. If you would like to try it out, please
read "challenge.readme" in the distribution directory. Don't be angry in
case of problems, just mail me. Pleasy, mail also in case of success, so that
I know if I am on the right way.
 
You can retrieve the new sources by anonymous FTP from forwiss.fmi.uni-passau.de
(132.231.1.10) changing directory to pub/local/shogi.
Get "xshogi-1.1.pl03.tar.gz".
 
Have fun,
 
   Matthias.
