Window, Linux exes + compiled jar file for running with Java.

http://www.mediafire.com/?7tmjw2cgexj

The download is rather large, apologies for that, but it uses Java swing libraries
which increases the file size when compiling executables.

Needs 'xboard' switch on the command line to use Winboard.
Can be used in 'console' mode too.

Nicolai, I think this Java engine might give 'Eden' a good game , but
it's got poor time management. (runs out of time at 40/3)

Rgds,
Jim.

Well, if it's on sourceforge, the first thing I'd suggest or submit would be to separate out the Swing elements.

I'll give it a try.

BTW it's Eden not 'Eden' :)
