Type:     game/board
Action:   15KHz

This program should work on any Amiga with OS 2.04 or greater and will
use a 640 x 480 AGA multiscan screen if available.  I've also heard
that it works good on a Picasso card and even on a Mac using U.A.E.

ProGammon is operating system friendly, it's full of options yet it
remains small and very cpu and memory efficient.

If you like backgammon then you will enjoy this program.
--------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.88:

      -a significant rewrite of the board evaluation routine.  It seems
       to do a better job with many complex endgame situations.
       
      -added a couple of  Pip Count  features. 
        
      -a minor fix that forces users to make both moves whenever possible
       while bearing off.


Version 2.86:

      -a dozen tool types have been replaced by a new  Game Options 
       window.  
     
      -added an  Acey-Deucey  option so users can play some of the more
       popular versions of this backgammon game.

      -the  Start On Bar  option will start the game with 15 stones on 
       the bar.

      -the  Doubles Bonus  option will let players have an extra move 
       everytime they roll doubles.
        
      -my opinion on what the best  Opening Moves  are.
          
      -registration info is now displayed in an Amiga style requester.
      
      -the usual minor change or two in game play.
