Subject: SHOGIV41.ZIP problems

This message is directed, initially, to about 20 subscribers of
SHOGI-L:

A number of Shogi players who received a uuencoded copy of my
Shogi Variants PC program (SHOGIV41.ZIP) have reported having
problems running it under Windows 95.  Please can I ask everyone
who has received a copy and has (or has not) been able to get
the software to work to email me with details of their operating
system.  I tested the software using a preview version of Win95,
and now am having doubts about whether it was a reasonable test
environment.

If there is anyone else who would like to try the software for
themselves, please email me direct and I will send them a copy.
The software, which is written in Visual Basic 3.0, requires the
following files, which should be available from the Microsoft
WWW site:
  VBRUN300.DLL, CMDIALOG.VBX, COMMDLG.DLL

I think I can convert the software quite easily to a 16-bit
Visual Basic 4.0 form which should be more compatible with Win95,
but it would require a large number of additional files, most of
which can be obtained from the VBTT pages as a ready to run
installation program (something like VB4RUN16.EXE):

Anyone interested in a VB4 version should email me direct as well.

Sorry to all those not interested in PC Shogi for taking up space
on SHOGI-L.

TIA.............Phil Holland
