Other available help information

    As good as this MacFIBS User Guide is, it is not the only source of information to help you use MacFIBS to the fullest.

    MacFIBS contains extensive balloon help. Just select Help > Show Balloons to turn them on. In particular, balloon help explains many of the options in the Preferences dialog.
    The MacFIBS Web site contains a great deal of useful information, beyond what is in this user guide.
    The MacFIBS mailing list is an excellent way to keep informed of new releases of MacFIBS or other news.
    The MacFIBS Sound page is maintained by Tom Hauk as a place to exchange player sounds for MacFIBS.

    You can find more information about the FIBS server itself at:

    The FIBS Web site contains important information and links related to FIBS.
    The FIBS status page contains the current status of the server (and is on a different computer than FIBS itself, so this page is reachable even if the server is not.) If you cannot connect to FIBS through MacFIBS or reach the FIBS Home page through your browser, check the FIBS status page for additional information.

    There are many excellent Web sites on the Internet devoted to general backgammon information:

    Stephen Turner's WWW Backgammon Page is one of the oldest and most complete Web sites devoted to backgammon.
    The Backgammon Galore Web site is another excellent general backgammon Web site. This site contains a comprehensive glossary of backgammon terms as well as the rules of the game.
    Gammon Village is a brand new site devoted to online backgammon. It contains a comprehensive list of all backgammon servers operating on the Web.
    The backgammon news group is an excellent resource for backgammon enthusiasts of all levels. I highly recommend visiting the newsgroup, you'll quickly find it indispensable.
