Subject: XShogi as ISS client

Hello ISS (Internet Shogi Server) users,

    GNU Xshogi can now serve as an ISS client!
    Positions received from the ISS are graphically displayed
    on the XShogi board. In a match, you can move the pieces
    by moving it on the graphical display. If observing a game,
    each observed position is displayed graphically.

    This is the very first version with only a few buttons.
    Unfortunately, the ISS had some bugs when I tested the client.
    I'm shure :) that the client works. Because I cannot read emails
    or connect to ISS from Tuesday to Friday, I announce the client now.

    Get xshogi-1.1p04.tar.gz from ftp.forwiss.uni-passau.de (132.231.1.10)
    by anonymous FTP (connect, cd to pub/local/shogi, binary, get ...).
    Install after reading INSTALL.
    start the program with
         xshogi -iss True
    or in debug mode (in case of problems)
         xshogi -iss True -debug True
    Hopefully, you're able to connect. Just type the command into the window
    you have started xshogi from. Additionally, you can find the responses
    of ISS not concerning the board update.

Hope all works, enjoy,

  Matthias.
