OTChess is a two player peer to peer Internet chess game for use on
OpenTransport-based Macintosh (essentially, any Mac running System 7.5.3
or greater).

- Requires Open Transport 1.1 or greater. Also requires System 7.1.2 or
greater. System 7.5.3 or greater recommended.

- If you select "Cancel" in the dialog which queries for you name and
the hostname of your opponent, you will be placed in a single-user
(non-network mode).

- Moves are now displayed as they occur in a scrolling window added to
the right side of the main dialog.

- You can now chat among players. The messages are displayed in the
same scrolling window used to display piece moves.

- OTChess has been tested under System 7.5.3 on an LC 475, a PowerMac
7500/100, and a Powerbook 520C. It also has been tested on a
PowerComputing PowerBase 240, running System 8.

Fixes/Changes since 1.5, 11/10/97

+ Reversed black and white positions on the board, and the color of
board positions. It was reported that I had the board colors wrong.

Fixes/Changes since 1.5.1 (not released to info-mac), 11/23/97

+ Alert dialog to indicate if host specified could not be resolved.
After user dismisses the alert, the connection dialog is redisplayed
allowing the user to respecify the host name or IP address and try
again.

+ Dialog is now displayed while connection to host is in process. User
can cancel and this will cause the game to revert to local mode.

+ Support for AppleEvents was broken. Added the necessary resources to
allow it to work. Now, when the application is started, a board is
displayed.
