1. What is this? This is XIccplus, an X client for Internet Chinese Chess Server. The current version is 3.0a*. This is an alpha release. 2. Installation Installation is quite simple. Type configure make The executable will be the file 'xiccp'. A sample X resource file is included which covers very little about how you may customize XIccplus. I haven't got time to make up a detailed one. However, you may live without it since The default setting should work for you. Read the next section for details. 3. Documentation This release of XIccplus is really hastening. No documentation comes with the distribution. But I will work it out gradually, post it on the ICCS homepage, http://www.math.harvard.edu/~xichen/ICCS.html and include it in the next release. If you have any problem, contact me by email: xichen@math.harvard.edu.
