I think it should be quite straightforward to port a program such as Kiwame II from the PC to the Mac. It would only require rewriting of the graphics front end, but I am afraid that the companies that sell Shogi programs do not consider the Mac market in Japan (or anywhere else for that matter) large enough. >Since there is this discussion of introducing new players to >Shogi, I just thought one of us new players should say "hello."

This list is really for *all* Shogi players, so whatever question you want to ask or issue you want to raise, please do not hesitate to do it.
