The first version will have the Tiger TUI (text user interface). The TUI does
not provide any help for standard interfacing with anything but PGN.
I am considering an XBoard version for later.

You can very easily create a second partition on any of your computers and
install Linux there.
You need a 2.5Gb partition.
Multiboot is very easy and for example on my Toshiba laptop I have WinXP, WinME
and two versions of Linux installed and all are working fine (not even counting
W98 installed inside of Linux and running in parallel with Linux).
All of this (repartitionning and multiboot) can be achieved by using a 64Kb
shareware DOS utility called "Ranish Partition Manager".
