PilOth version 1.1

---

* What is PilOth?

  PilOth is a strong freeware Othello player for Palm computers.
  It is very similar to Reversi Master, which is shareware.

* Requirements:

  A Palm device with OS version 3.0 or greater.  Contact me if you only own
  version 2.0; little work is needed to make PilOth run on this version.
  Also contact me if you get error messages about "not enough memory".

* History:

  2002/08/30 v. 1.1

    - added colour support
    - added high-resolution compatibility

  2002/08/22 v. 1.0

    first stable release

* Known problems:

  If the menu is open when PilOth plays its move, the screen is not updated
  (you hear a beep but the move is not shown).  The screen is refreshed only
  after the menu is closed.  If the tool bar is open this is even worse, and
  PilOth draws over the tool bar.  Those problems are due to PalmOS limitations,
  and for now I do not know any way to solve them.

* To do:

  - icons, see below
  - weaker levels

* Wanted

  Icons for PilOth!  Contact me if you are willing to create icons.

* Othello strategy
