Mac: Play-O-Matic (game replayer) From:   Paul Ferguson Address:   fergy@best.com Date:   26 February 1997 Subject:   [ANN] Backgammon Play-O-Matic Forum:   rec.games.backgammon Google:   5f0gti$mar$1@nntp2.ba.best.com I am posting this for John Baro (jabaro@cotf.edu "Backgammon Play-O-Matic is a Mac program that can be used to replay games that have been saved as a "move list file" by a FIBS program. If you're a serious computer-backgammon-playing type, you already know about FIBS; if not, this program is probably not for you. All you have to do is open a move list file and watch as a piece of backgammon history unfolds before your very eyes. What could be simpler? I would also like to mention that I consider this a beta version. I'd like to hear comments, suggestions, and bug reports. I don't think there are any bugs left, but it hasn't been tested that extensively yet. The only problems it may still have are with files it has trouble interpreting. If you run across a moves file it chokes on, please let me know." -------------- This program is pretty neat! (and I don't generally replay matches, which explains why I haven't added this feature to MacFIBS...) I have agreed to sponsor this program on the MacFIBS web site: <http://www.fibs.com/macfibs/Download.html> Go to the Software page to check it out. //fergy   Did you find the information in this article useful?           Do you have any comments you'd like to add?
