NOTE: If you have a previous version of Checkers, delete
before installing this version.  This will not be required
after this version.

Introduction:

This is the game that everyone knows and loves, Checkers!
I wanted to create a Pilot app in GCC and figured this would
be the easiest to create.  Boy was I wrong!  Things started
out wrong with using bad code to be my base code and everything
went on from there.  With the help of Bill Kirby though, I
was able to get it from a pile of worthless code to what is
included.  This software is freeware, but if you can send me
some software/code you have made, it will be gladly accepted.
We currently do not know of any bugs in the software, but if
you find one, we will gladly fix it and thank you graciously.
If you find any bugs, comments, suggestions, or
encouragements, e-mail us at [email protected] and we
should respond within 24 hours.  Next version will have
Pilot play against human player.

Enjoy!
