NAME

       zic2xpm - Tool to convert ZIICS chess pieces into XBoard (XPM/XIM) pieces.

SYNOPSIS

       zic2xpm file1 [file2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       zic2xpm converts one or more ZIICS piece files into a format that can be used by XBoard.  If you give more than one filename, be aware that
       multiple sets of the same size cannot exist in one directory. Multiple sets of different sizes can exist in a single directory.

EXAMPLE

       If you wanted to make a directory containing the sets SET2.V32, SET2.V40, SET2.V50, and SET2.V56, all of which are located in ~/ziics,  you
       could do:

	     mkdir Sets
	     cd Sets
	     zic2xpm ~/ziics/SET2.*

       You would then run XBoard like this:

	    xboard -pixmap Sets
