Xcchess is a simple X client for chinese chess. It allows two players
play the game over internet. For detail of usage please refer to the
man page xcchess(6).

This program makes no attempt to play the game by itself, it only
serves as a tool to bring two players together.

This is the initial release of xcchess. It has been tested on
Sun Sparcstaions and SGI Iris workstations. I believe it will also
work fine on any other UNIX systems supporting BSD sockets.
Please inform me of any bugs or any incompatibility with other systems.

I would like to hear your suggestions about this program, new features
more functionalities, better appearance etc. The source codes are also
available, feel free to copy, modify or distribute, but not to sell it
for profit. If you have made any improvement to this program, I would
like to hear it from you. As there exists a internet chinese chess server,
I would be very interested if someone could transform this program into
a client to the server, I would be happy to offer my help. Of course,
I can do the job myself, if someone send my a copy of the specifications
of that server.

I don't have internet access myself at this moment. If you have anything
(bugs, suggestions, etc) want to tell me, please send it to my friend
Guo Muyu at
	muyu@phoenix.princeton.edu
he will forward the message to me.

Enjoy!
