0. Disclaimer of Warranty
   Although "Jonny" is well tested software, I donīt give any warranty that
   it will do what you expect it to do; furthermore I donīt take responsi-
   bility for any damage caused by the use of the program.  
   
1. What is "Jonny"?
   "Jonny" is a freeware chess-engine for Windows. A condition for its redi-
   stribution is that this readme file is attached without any changes. 
   Although "Jonny" can be operated on the command line, I highly recommend
   the use of a graphical interface. As a UCI-engine, Jonny can be used with
   all interfaces supporting the UCI-protocol (e.g. Fritz, Shredder, Arena).

2. Installation
   The way how a UCI engine is installed depends from your graphical user 
   interface (GUI). Usually you find a menu item which is called something 
   like "Install UCI engine". After you click on it a file dialog box should
   open where you have to choose the Jonny executable ("JonnyXYZ.exe", where 
   XYZ are numbers indicating the version). Now "Jonny" can be used like any
   other engine within your GUI.

3. Thanks to...
   - Eugene Nalimov und Andrew Kadatch for the tablebase code and their
     permission to use it in "Jonny"
   - Mark Roberts who did Jonnyīs opening book in the last two WCCCs
   - Stefan Meyer-Kahlen and Rudolf Huber for the well designed UCI protocol
   - all other persons who helped me during the last 8 years with the 
     developement of Jonny
