## Description

GoGui is a graphical interface to programs that play the game of Go and use the Go Text Protocol.

It is especially useful for Go program developers, since it allows direct communication with the program by sending any GTP command and to log and save the stream of sent GTP commands to facilitate debugging and reproducing errors.

## Requirements

GoGui requires Java 1.4. It is mainly tested with Sun's JDK on GNU/Linux and on Mac OS/X.

### Using GCJ

The current status (tested with GCJ 4.0.1) is: everything compiles, the console based tools (e.g. GtpRegress, GtpDummy) seem to work, the graphical programs GoGui, GtpDisplay and GtpStatistics (which uses AWT classes for drawing plots) don't work yet. However, the implementation of the Java Swing classes in the Classpath library, which is used by GCJ, has been making tremendous progress recently, so future versions will probably be able to run GoGui.
