Freeware program RDChess Copyright (c) 2010 by Rudolf Posch 2630 Ternitz, Austria Europe
Comments/ suggestions / error reports welcome!
To install the program unzip the RDChessV3xx.zip file
into a temporary directory and start the setup program setup.exe.
Setup installs all RDChess program files into a
default directory (c:\RDChess) or into a directory
that may be chosen at the installation process.
The program consists of the RDChess.exe program file,
the actual readme.txt file with licence agreement,
an opening library file (RDCH_op.lib),
an English and German help-file in .txt format
and a few example chess games in .pgn format.
A few configuration parameters of RDChess (colors, language
of User interface, ... ) are stored permanently by RDChess
in the registry and read at the program start.
A second Zip file RDChessSrcV3xx.zip is available free on the
RDChess download site with the source code.
The source files are installed into a subdirectory \Source
of the install directory.
Setup WinBoard.exe for RDChess:
-------------------------------
RDChess must be called with the parameter "xboard" (or /xb or /wb)
in the command line in order to run in Winboard mode.
E.g. create a shortcut on the desktop calling the program
winboard.exe with RDChess as the
"first computer program (fcp)" with the following content:
"C:\Program Files\WinBoard\winboard.exe" /cp
/fcp="d:\rdchess\rdchess.exe xboard" /fd="d:\rdchess"
(enter as a full line; use the path specifiers for winboard
and rdchess as installed on your machine!)
