                               XGOD

This program creates or reads Go diagrams that can be used in LaTeX
documents. To use it you need the xforms library (version 0.88) freely 
available at: http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xforms  and Hanna Kolodziejska's 
package with TeX fonts and macros. This is part of the LaTeX disk sets 
in the Slackware Linux distribution (ntf-go.tgz) and probably of many 
other distributions. 

Go is an ancient oriental strategic game. It is played on a square board
with black and white stones. Although the rules are quite simple, the
game is complex and  playing at a professional level can be extremely
difficult. But if you like thinking ahead, making plans and fighting with
your opponent for every place on the Go board, you will get a lot of
satisfaction no matter what your level of play is. To find out more about 
Go rules, books or players, look at http://www.cwi.nl/~jansteen. There is
also a Go server where you can talk or play with Go players online at
igs.nuri.net:6969.

The Go diagrams created with Xgod can be included directly in LaTeX
documents, with a command like:

       \input my.go.diagram

Also, in the document preamble (between the commands \documentclass... and
\begin{document}) you need to write:

       \input go.sty
or
       \usepackage{go}

because in this last case the .sty extension is added by default.

The file go.sty should be somewhere in your TeX subdirectories (on my 
Slackware Linux system it's /usr/lib/texmf/tex/misc) and it defines the 
commands issued in the diagram files.
