** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 3.3, patchlevel 2 **

This is a minor release to correct an omission: "Zippy" was left out
of 3.3.pl1 by mistake.  See change list below.

XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can serve as a
user interface for GNU Chess, for the Internet Chess Server (ICS), or for
electronic mail correspondence chess.  XBoard can also be used by itself.
It can read and write game files in PGN (portable game notation).

You can (either now or soon) get XBoard 3.3.pl2 by anonymous ftp from the chess
ftp server (ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/X/xboard-3.3.pl2.tar.gz or
initially ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/uploads/X/xboard-3.3.pl2.tar.gz),
or from GNU ftp sites (ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/xboard-3.3.pl2.tar.gz).

If you plan to use XBoard with GNU Chess, get the current patch level of GNU
Chess 4.0 to go with it.  It is available from prep.ai.mit.edu and other GNU
ftp sites, in the same directory as XBoard.

WinBoard is a port of XBoard to the Microsoft Win32 programming interface.  It
runs on Windows NT and Windows 95.  Most of its functions do *not* work on
Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or other DOS-based versions of
Windows, not even with the Win32s package.  (It works only as a standalone
chessboard and PGN viewer/editor on the latter systems.)  WinBoard 3.3.pl2 is
available from the chess ftp server, in either zip or gzip format:
ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/Win3/winboard-3.3.pl2.zip or
ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/Win3/winboard-3.3.pl2.tar.gz.

Report bugs in these programs to <bug-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu>.

=== Complete change list since the last release (3.3.pl1) ===

* Zippy is now included in the distribution instead of being distributed
separately.  Zippy is a program that lets GNU Chess act as a computer player
on an Internet Chess Server.  Zippy was omitted from xboard-3.3.pl1 by
mistake, though the release message said it was included.

* Added more information to the FAQ and the WinBoard help file about using
WinBoard with a modem on a non-SLIP/PPP account.
