Zzzzzz 5.0 for Lazarus

Post by Roland Chastain »

Hello everybody.

I converted Zzzzzz 5.0 (by Gijsbert Wiesenekker) to a Lazarus project and created a git repository.

It seems to be a very nice program.

By the way, the CPW says that the first version was a CECP engine written in C. Was it open source too? Is the source available somewhere?

Hi Roland,

I added winboard protocol to the c source version about 15 years ago.

I compiled a Win 64 bit exe not long ago.

Hi Roland,
you can find some old versions in JA repository. This is the oldest one with the first CECP code added by JA.
