I read a posting a while ago about a Go program for amiga. Where can I get the source/binary?

I'm desperately behind schedule in finishing this GO version. Two weeks ago, I got into the "just one more" disease in trying to add new features. As you all know, this kind of disease could be really bad: I had to go back to an earlier backup copy. Anyway, this version is almost done. Hopefully, I can finish in a week or two (depending on the amount of work I have at the office!). Giao UUCP: sun!pyramid!infmx!giao P.S: I saw a commercial version of GO at AmiEXPO (in A-Squared booth). It looks pretty nice. It has a sort of tutoring window describing the computer's action. I have no information about price and release date (I did not ask). P.P.S: Lately I have problems with my 2000. Sometimes, when booted up, the computer's keyboard refuses to accept any input. The CAPS-LOCK light keeps blinking. Turning off the machine for a while would help. Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks.

I saw a flyer for a commercial version. It says: "The four-thousand year old game of conquest and strategy from China and Japan comes to your Amiga in this award-winning version. The Art of Go."

In article <771@tardis.Tymnet.COM> jms@tardis.Tymnet.COM (Joe Smith) refers to a commercial Go program: >"Brought to you by A-Squared Distributions, Inc. 6114 La Salle Ave, > Suite 326, Oakland, California, 94611 (415)339-0339" Has anyone out there played this? Is it any good? I've played one for the IBM PC called Cosmos, from Ishi press, which is an ok program but doesn't play a very strong game of Go. Does anyone know how much A-squared is asking for their program? - Duncan Thomson
