Subject: "Friendliest" program?


Hello All,

This is probably a very low question, given the lofty topics that I've
seen discussed here, but I was wondering if anyone had recommendations
for a shogi computer program that is "nice" to play. I mean that mainly
in the sense of a nice interface to the program, although something that
handles playing lower-strength players effectively would be an added
bonus.

As  a more-or-less complete beginner, I'm unlikely to be stretching the
boundaries of any program this lifetime. What would be nice is something
that is friendly to use, and pleasing enough to look at. A
Japanese-language interface wouldn't be too much of a problem if there
aren't any Western programs that fill this criteria. I would prefer to
have the "traditional" display of pieces rather than the
move-illustrations or other symbolic representations that I've seen.

Any suggestions? A little bit of financial outlay isn't out of the
question for the program. Sorry for dragging the tone of the list down!

Joss
