M A K I N G

 I compiled this program using the gnu c++ compiler that comes
 with  RedHat  Linux 5.2 and under DOS using Borland C++ 5.0

 *Under RedHat Linux 5.2:
  1. Compile it:
     $g++ main.cpp
  2. Run it:
     $./a.out
 
 or you can write:
 $make
 and then run it:
 $./checkers.executable


  *Under DOS must be compiled using the large memory model
  1. Compile it:
     bcc -ml main.cpp
  2. Run it:
     main.exe


B O O L E A N   T Y P E

 Borland c++ 5.0 supports the bool type.
 If you c++ version doesn't support it you
 could treat bool values as integers

 ... or add the line

 enum bool {true=1;false=0};

 If you improve the program or have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
 That's all for now.
