-
-
- Two versions of the ICOT Go Playing Game System `GOG' are now available from
- the ICOT Free Software system. I append the current ICOT Free Software
- Newsletter (approx 150 pages) -- see items 52 and 53. It also covers other
- programs.
-
- From a recent(ish) paper on this system it was not clear that they had
- developed a system which was comparable with the current go-playing programs
- available for PCs -- their main interest seemed to have been in AI techniques.

- [PDSS Release]
-
- PDSS (PIMOS Development Support System) is a system to execute KL1
- programs on BSD UNIX workstations, and compatibility with the KL1 system
- on the Multi-PSI/PIM is preserved except in the implementation method and
- execution efficiency. Executing large scale KL1 programs on PDSS
- directly is difficult because of several constraints, but relatively
- small programs or parts of large programs are executable on PDSS.
-
- PDSS is released as ICOT Free Software at the second release on 7th
- September.
