README CBUFF 0.9.0
Anjo Anjewierden (anjo@swi.psy.uva.nl)
November, 1993
CBUFF is a library of C functions implementing the ChessBase file format.
The CBUFF library has been used to implement a number of utilities doing
interesting things to ChessBase databases.
The CBUFF library, the CBUFF utilities and the CBUFF documentation is
protected by copyright. All of CBUFF is, however, free. See the file
COPYING and the documentation for more details on your rights.
Send comments, contributions and criticsm to anjo@swi.psy.uva.nl.
AVAILABILITY
============
CBUFF is currently only available to members of the CBUFF project. In the
future it will be available from the chess FTP site: chess.uoknor.edu in
the directory /pub/ChessBase/CBUFF. CBUFF is *not* available directly from
the authors.
New versions and utilities will be announced on rec.games.chess.
INSTALLING UNDER MS-DOS (WITHOUT RECOMPILING)
=============================================
If you have a computer running MS-DOS installation merily means copying the
relevant files to your hard disk. It is easiest to create a separate
directory for CBUFF, for example
% mkdir c:\cbuff
Then copy all utilities and the support files to your CBUFF directory,
for example:
% cd c:\cbuff
% tar xfv cbuff.dos.tar
% tar xfv cbuff.support.tar
Finally, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add the line:
SET CBUFFDIR C:\CBUFF\
and append C:\CBUFF to the PATH environment variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
INSTALLING ON OTHER PLATFORMS:
=============================
You need an ANSI-compatible C compiler to recompile CBUFF. See the
"Makefile" for details on what is required. The file "machine.h" can be
edited to tailor CBUFF to a particular hard/software environment.
Under Unix you should create a CBUFF directory and copy all support files
to that directory. Then set the environment variable CBUFFDIR to the name
of the directory created.
POINTERS:
========
See the file "NOTES" for information about the latest release.
