Hi Lauri,

I've downloaded and tried the zip format of 3.0.18, and it looks pretty good. No problem found so far. Thanks for checking and updating.

Have a nice weekend!

mkfifo works, Lauri. But it looks the change hasn't been made to the script gowrite2 in the latest 3.0.17 version. As far as I know, mkfifo is more portable and standardized than mknod, so it should be the preferred one. By the way, Lauri, each time the script gowrite2 is invoked, there will be a pi...

Found a solution here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4664/open-a-rpm-on-a-mac Basically, just extract files from the rpm package and put it in my local home directory, then run it from there. By the way, it looks like the script 'gowrite' works well, while 'gowrite2' doesnt: johny@bonjour...

I am trying to install 3.0.14 onto mac os x. johyn@bonjour:~/Downloads$ rpm -i gowrite-3.0.14-1.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: /bin/bash is needed by gowrite-3.0.14-1.noarch /bin/sh is needed by gowrite-3.0.14-1.noarch But I have bash and sh in the shell: johny@bonjour:~/Downloads$ which bas...

Got it. Thanks, Lauri.

By the way, it would be better if you change the text of the second hyperlink "2.3.48" to "3.0.12". That way, people would know where to get the latest linux version for the new stable version of gowrite.

Thanks,
johny

There is no Linux version available?

Hi Lauri, I have many SGF files recorded by MultiGo. One feature (which I like) of MultiGo is to reset the sequence of the next move in a variation to start from 1. But when I load the same SGF file into gowrite, the variation sequence number doesn't start from 1 any more. Rather, it follows the ori...

Hi Lauri, Tried your test version of gowrite-3.0.11-1.noarch.rpm. However, the "Auto Character Set" (in File -> Open dialog) doesn't work well with my commented sgf file. I still have to explicitly set it to GBK to display the Chinese comments. Am I missing anything? Update: Found the cause why it w...

Thank you, Lauri.

Yes, your walk-around works for me. I didn't notice there is the character set option when a file is opened.

Thanks!
johny

Lauri,

I tried the development version 3.0.10, and played with the SGF options, but it seems not working to solve the comment language problem.

I have sent another email with my screen shots attached. Please have a look at them.

Thanks,
johny

Lauri,

I have sent you an email with the Chinese commented sgf files attached. Please let me know if you can't received my email.

Thanks,
johny

Just want to point out that, if we run gowrite2 directly from the command line in ubuntu 12.04, there would be some error msg like: johny@johny:~$ gowrite2 starting GO Write 2... /opt/gowrite2/gowrite2: 34: [: -a: unexpected operator /opt/gowrite2/gowrite2: 37: [: -a: unexpected operator The error i...

Problem is, if I open a sgf record in the board, the comment (written in Chinese) is displayed as unreadable. Is there an option to adjust the comment display language?

Just tried install the rpm package on ubuntu 12.04:
1. gunzip gowrite-2.3.48-1.noarch.rpm.gz
2. sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential
3. sudo alien gowrite-2.3.48-1.noarch.rpm
4. sudo dpkg -i gowrite_2.3.48-2_all.deb

Works like a charm.
