36 The “zic2xpm” program is used to import chess sets from the ZIICS(*)
\r
37 program into XBoard. “zic2xpm” is part of the XBoard distribution.
\r
38 ZIICS is available from:
\r
40 ftp://ftp.freechess.org/pub/chess/DOS/ziics131.exe
\r
42 To import ZIICS pieces, do this:
\r
44 <dt>1. Unzip ziics131.exe into a directory:<dd>
\r
45 <pre class="example"> unzip -L ziics131.exe -d ~/ziics
\r
47 <br><dt>2. Use zic2xpm to convert a set of pieces to XBoard format.<dd>
\r
48 For example, let's say you want to use the
\r
49 FRITZ4 set. These files are named “fritz4.*” in the ZIICS distribution.
\r
51 <pre class="example"> mkdir ~/fritz4
\r
53 zic2xpm ~/ziics/fritz4.*
\r
55 <br><dt>3. Give XBoard the “-pixmap” option when starting up, e.g.:<dd>
\r
56 <pre class="example"> xboard -pixmap ~/fritz4
\r
59 Alternatively, you can add this line to your <samp><span class="file">.Xresources</span></samp> file:
\r
61 <pre class="example"> xboard*pixmapDirectory: ~/fritz4
