Subject: Announcing NewBoard 1.0. (My Chess GUI program )

Hi There.

I am announcing version 1.0 of NewBoard:

http://joselauro.tripod.com/newboard.html
http://joselauro.com/newboard.html

It is a free and open source chess GUI with only one single source code file.
It also works in Unix/Linux using Wine but in this case you have to start the
engine by hand.
The 3 main features are:
1-It speaks!:)
2-You can change the size of the pieces giving even a non square size.
3-It is written in Ada 95 instead of C/C++.
4-It works with simple text files instead of Pipes
(Of course the ability to work with Wine under Linux is one of advantages of
this)

There is only one chess engine avaliable, PreChess (mine one and too weak)
please, if you like the program, help me porting your engine!!
My cyber friend Stan Arts from Holland is one who is interested in porting his
engines!!:)

Thank you!!

José Lauro Strapasson.
