[gnugo-devel] New GnuGo GUI for Windows

[Jacques Basaldúa]

   Santa Cruz de Tenerife, March, 1 2003

   Hello,

   I  have written a multiple board Go player/analyzer/IGS-client for 
Windows. My program is available for download at 
http://www.dybot.com/GoKnot and uses GnuGo for both playing and 
analyzing games. I have also created a small utility that installs both 
GoKnot (my program) and GnuGo 3.3.16. GoKnot's documentation clearly 
explains that GoKnot and GnuGo are two completely unrelated products. 
The installation utility creates three menu links: one to GoKnot, one to 
GnuGo and one to an "About GnuGo" page containing this: 
http://www.dybot.com/GoKnot/Gnu/gnugo.htm

   The simultaneous installation of both programs is only intended to 
protect the user against: version incompatibilities, broken links and 
errors produced by the user's unability to install both programs. As far 
as I understand your license conditions, this does not infringe any of 
the clauses, but of course, I will follow your instructions. As I see 
it, it is not different that if both programs were distributed together 
on a CD.

   I hope that you share my views on the subject. Please, download 
GoKnot. As you will see: It is the only Windows interface to GnuGo that 
is really a Windows application (Java independent), GnuGo can be used to 
analyze and not only to play, GnuGo can be used to analyze games taking 
place at IGS, and much more. Both GoKnot and my website have links to 
your site. Please, confirm that you agree with my current installation 
procedure or indicate what changes should I make to it. I would also 
appreciate a link to my website as you are linking to other GUIs for 
Windows.

   Sincerely yours,

   Jacques Basaldúa
