D.3 Is there an XBoard for the Amiga? What is AmyBoard?
AmyBoard is a port of XBoard to the Amiga, by Jochen Wiedmann. The
distribution includes a port of GNU Chess. AmyBoard is free software.
The current version of AmyBoard is 330.5 (based on XBoard 3.3.0). No one
is currently maintaining it.
System requirements:
* An Amiga (obviously :-), running OS 2.04 or later, 2Mb RAM or more.
* MUI 2.0 or later.
* Workbench or another screen with no less than 640x400 pixels
(adjustable with the MUI-Prefs); this restriction is just because
we don't have bitmaps with less than 40x40 pixels per square. If
someone contributes bitmaps with 20x20 or 20x25, they will work
with any Hires mode.
If you would like to use an ICS, you need an Internet connection via
either
* a telnet-like program, or
* a terminal program reading from stdin and writing to stdout.
AmyBoard is available in the Internet Chess Library (topic [A.3] ).
