This file contains additions and corrections to the ZARKOV2 manual.
1. A new command called 'me' has been added. This command will
prompt you for your name which will then be displayed above the
clock on your side of the chess board. If you go into the
preferences menu and select the SAVE option, your name will be
saved in the configuration file.
2. A new command called 'animate' has been added. This command
can be used following the 'replay' command to play through
each move of the game automatically. Zarkov will prompt
you for a delay in milliseconds to occur after each move.
3. The right mouse button can be used to exit a menu without
selecting an option similarly to pressing the ESC key.
4. An environment variable called 'b7path' determines where
ZARKOV will look for the BOOKUP 'settings' file. If BOOKUP7
is in the directory c:\chess\bookup7 type the following statement
at the DOS command line or put this command in your autoexec.bat
file.
set b7path=\chess\bookup7
If the variable b7path is not found in the environment, ZARKOV
will look in the directory \bookup7.
5. The user programmable book specified with the '-u' command line
option now has priority over the default book. Additional books
brought in with the 'addbook' command will replace books which
previously existed. Because the user book now has priority over
the default book, the distribution disk no longer contains the file
'user.opn'. A sample user opening book called 'example.opn' is
provided to show you how user openings are handled.
If you start Zarkov as follows:
zarkov -u example
and then type 'best', Zarkov will play the first line in the
'example.opn' file which is the Sicilian.
