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
