README
What is ShogiVar?
=================
ShogiVar 1.55a is a free program which can referee games between
human players for any of 17 ancient & modern variants of Shogi
(the Japanese member of the chess family). There is also a computer
player for all supported variants except Tenjiku (Exotic) Shogi.
ShogiVar is free software, released under the GNU General Public
License (GPL). See the file COPYING for details.
O/S Requirements
-------------------
ShogiVar originally was a 16-bit Windows Visual Basic 3.0 application that
would run under any 16 or 32-bit version of Windows (from 3.1 onwards).
It will not run under more modern 64-bit Windows operating systems.

Linux port
-------------
ShogiVar has been translated to C, with a new GTK+ front-end providing
the services formerly provided by Visual Basic. The code for this
front-end was adapted from the GNU XBoard project. The Linux port of
Shogivar can be built from source code by the commands:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Note that installing is essential, as otherwise ShogiVar would not be
able to find any of its graphics files for boards and pieces.
