I am using skak-1.2 which is the current version distributed with debian-testing. Chessfss is currently not included in the debian-testing distribution so it must be packaged (if no copyright issues are involved). Where can I find documentation about the skak library. The documentation included in the package is not helping very much. Googling around hasnt delivered also much documentation. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
