Hello again Shogi-L,

I'm working on a small java-program (small : < 1000 lines) that allows
you to enter games in a graphical way on the internet.
The program is not complete but you can use version 1.0 nevertheless.

Please tell me what you think.  You can find the program on :

http://www.netpoint.be/shogi/gsdb/java/

You need a java-capable browser like Netscape 3, Internet Explorer 3
or HotJava.  The program appears to run on AIX, Linux, Windows95,
Windows NT and Mac so I guess it will work on other platforms as well.

You can find a "complete" archive of the program (in case you want to
improve the program :-) on ftp://ftp.netpoint.be/

DOS ZIP        : gsdb-1_0.zip     , 68520 bytes
GNU-ZIPPED TAR : gsdb-1.0.tar.gz  , 57282 bytes
COMPRESSED TAR : gsdb-1.0.tar.Z   , 91581 bytes

Check for new versions every week or so.

I would like to thank everyone for the suggestions they made and
especially Eric and Albrecht.

I'm determined to go to the bitter end with this project.  Within a couple of
weeks I should have a complete web-interface to enter AND consult game-scores.

Have fun,

Matt
