So it is. But if you would use that GUI, you would experience,
that things are a little bit more dynamic that it might seem.

Understand, that my primary intention has not been to write a
GUI. It has been the lack of a 10x8 and 8x8 supporting GUI and
protocol, which let me write that GUI using Borland C++ Builder 6.

Thus I am more interested in the playing ability at all, than
in very details of its lay out. Nevertheless I feel, that it
has a good usability. But to have reports of other people would
be of course better, than my not neutral opinion.
