 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!
