35 <p>The “zic2xpm” program is used to import chess sets from the ZIICS(*)
36 program into XBoard. “zic2xpm” is part of the XBoard distribution.
37 ZIICS is available from:
39 <p>ftp://ftp.freechess.org/pub/chess/DOS/ziics131.exe
41 <p>To import ZIICS pieces, do this:
43 <dt>1. Unzip ziics131.exe into a directory:<dd>
44 <pre class="example"> unzip -L ziics131.exe -d ~/ziics
46 <br><dt>2. Use zic2xpm to convert a set of pieces to XBoard format.<dd>
47 For example, let's say you want to use the
48 FRITZ4 set. These files are named “fritz4.*” in the ZIICS distribution.
50 <pre class="example"> mkdir ~/fritz4
52 zic2xpm ~/ziics/fritz4.*
54 <br><dt>3. Give XBoard the “-pixmap” option when starting up, e.g.:<dd>
55 <pre class="example"> xboard -pixmap ~/fritz4
