 the rec* and *games* groups)

Hello,

I am looking for bibliographic references to articles about a board game
and for a program, either source or binary for IBM-PC, to play it on
a computer.

The game is called "Muehle" in Germany ("ue" is u Umlaut), and
"Nine Men's Morris" in England.
As it might be known under different names in different countries and
languages, I have here a diagram of the board. The board is
unique to this game, as far as I know.

A board looks like this:


o------------o------------o
|            |            |
|  o---------o---------o  |
|  |         |         |  |
|  |  o------o------o  |  |
|  |  |             |  |  |
|  |  |             |  |  |
o--o--o             o--o--o
|  |  |             |  |  |
|  |  |             |  |  |
|  |  o------o------o  |  |
|  |         |         |  |
|  o---------o---------o  |
|            |            |
o------------o------------o

"o" : are places where pieces can be put
"-" and "|" : connection between such places


Thanks in advance,
