4 GF1 is a computer program for playing the 2 player boardgame GIPF.
5 The program has a nice and easy to use graphical user interface. You
6 can play against another human (but the real game is better for that),
7 against the computer, or let the computer play against itself. The
8 computer player is good enough to beat even the best human players at
9 the moment (but it doesn't always win :-) ).
12 REMARK: Please send me a postcard if you like this program.

19 If you have problems with this program, please let me know. I try to solve
20 all problems, and all other comments and suggestions are also welcome.
22 contents of this file:
30 depends on the zipfile you have:
31 - if the file is called
32 gf1_lexe_<version>.zip or gf1_wexe_<version>.zip
34 just unzip the file, the complete program consists of one
35 executable file (gf1 or gf1.exe).
36 Just put it in any directory you like and run it.
38 - if the file is called
40 then you should read the file INSTALL.txt to find out how you can
41 compile the program from the source.
45 Just start the program and try to find out what all the menu-options do.
46 If that is not enough, there is a help-function.
48 This program does not contain an explanation of how to play GIPF. If you
49 don't know GIPF, go buy the game or check the GIPF-website.

52 remark: the program creates a configuration file called gf1.cfg when
57 (some of these files may not be in the zipfile you have.)
