                    Gnuchess for the Archimedes V 1.0

How to use the gnuchess application (this was written using Latin1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Make certain you have at least 160K screen memory (gnuchess uses
   mode 15). 

2) Double click on the application icon.

3) Answer the following questions (this sets the difficulty level):
   #moves:           /* The max. lenght of the game */
   #minutes:         /* How long the computer can take on each move */
   operator time:    /* Use the standard choice 0 */

4) 'help' will give you a command list. This version also have a simple
   mouse control, just press down the button over the piece you want to
   move, then drag the pointer to the destination field and release the
   button.

5) When you start a new game, gnuchess will look for the opening book
   containing the various opening moves. The opening book (!Gnuchess.Book.
   Gnuchess) is a plain ascii file and may be edited.

You can request the source code from:

email: perhvid@ifi.uio.no      snailmail: Per yvind Hvidsten
                                          6206, Sogn Studentby
                                          Sognsveien 85
                                          N-0858 OSLO 8
                                          NORWAY                  

If I get many reqests for the source I will try to release it to SID, so
check SID before you send me a direct request (if you use snailmail send a
s.a.e. contaning a disc).

Note: Gnuchess needs the FPEmulator and if not pressent will try to load it
      from the <system$path>Modules directory.

NOTE: You can freely copy gnuchess as long as you comply with the general
      public license, see the COPYING file for details.
