makehyper - generate a GNU Backgammon Hypergammon position database SYNOPSIS
makehyper [-nvh] -f filename [-r filename] [-c chequers] [-t threshold] DESCRIPTION
Hypergammon is a variation of backgammon with a much reduced number of chequers (usually three). It's possible to fully analyze this sim- plified game and generate a database of position evaluations in order to play perfectly. makehyper generates such a position evaluation database. Since many of the positions are in contact, it's not possible to generate the database in one pass; instead, makehyper iterates until the position evaluation converges. The convergence threshold can be changed with the -t option. OPTIONS
-f filename, --outfile filename Write the hypergammon database to filename. This option must be given. -r filename, --restart filename Restart calculation of the database from the given file, which should be a checkpoint from an earlier run. -c chequers, --chequers chequers Set the number of chequers in the game. The default is 3, for normal 3-chequer hypergammon. -n, --no-checkpoint Do not write a checkpoint file after each iteration. -t threshold, --threshold threshold Set the convergence threshold. The default is 1e-5. -v, --version Show version information and exit. -h, --help Display usage and exit. SEE ALSO

palm-datebook-reminders - generate simple report from Palm Datebook DB SYNOPSIS
PALM-DATEBOOK-REMINDERS [options] DESCRIPTION
palm-datebook-reminders reads a Palm Datebook database and prints out a list of events in the near future in a reasonably easy to read for- mat. Immiment events (ones in approximately the next 48 hours by default) are listed with complete item text. Forthcoming events (approximately the next 4 weeks by default) are listed in summary form. OPTIONS
imminent/forthcoming | -timminent/forthcoming Specifies that imminent and forthcoming events are ones within the next immiment and forthcoming seconds, respectively. filename | -ffilename Reads the file filename instead of ./DatebookDB.pdb. If the bare form is used, filename must start with a . or / (dot or slash). BUGS
The program is not configurable enough. The option parsing is very grotty. Proper character set conversion is not performed. FILES
DatebookDB.pdb Default input file. AUTHOR
