     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!
