othello  -  README  -  April 1990.
 
This is version 1.3 of the Othello game. This version works under
SunView, XView, X11 and for dumb tty terminals.

See the manual pages for more details.

Because this program is designed to run on a variety of computers,
you should check the comments at the beginning of the Makefile to
see if there is anything you need to tweak for the version you are
trying to make. If you then type "make", it will tell you what you
need to do next.
 
This version is a rework of the Sun graphics front-end from Ed
Falk of Sun Microsystems, plus the best move computer strategy
and remarks from Chris Miller. I have fixed a couple of bugs and
consolidated the whole lot. By my reckoning, it plays a very
reasonable game.

See the TODO file for the list of known problems.
