+HISTORY
+
+WinBoard is a port of the Unix program XBoard to Win32,
+the 32-bit Microsoft Windows API. The graphical front
+end (WinBoard.c, etc.) is all new, but the back end
+that understands chess rules, chess notation, GNU
+Chess, the ICS, etc., is shared with XBoard. See
+WinBoard.hlp for a list of contributors to WinBoard and
+XBoard.
