When the program is started an empty renju board is displayed.<br>
<br>
If the size of the board is to big or small, adjust the size with the
<b>Size</b> commands in the <A HREF="#View Menu">View Menu</A><br>
<br>
To open an existing <A HREF="#Library">library</A>, use the <b>Open</b> [Ctrl+O]
command in the <A HREF="#File Menu">File Menu</A> and select, for example,
I7.lib or D4.lib. You can also double-click or use drag and drop to open files or
select files from the recent file list in the <A HREF="#File Menu">File Menu</A>.<br>
<br>
To create a new library, see
<A HREF="#Create a Library">Create a Library</A>.<br>
<br>
When a library file has been read, information is displayed on the bottom
status line about number of moves, comments and marks.<br>
<br>
To check an existing move in the library, left click the mouse pointing at
one of the smaller circles (variants). Then you will enter a new position
(branch) and see new variants from that position.<br>
<br>
To check a branch from an earlier position, press key B, or
right-click the mouse, to go back one move at the
time, until you reach the position where you want to
check another alternative move.<br>
<br>
You will see a small circle indicating an existing move
(variant) while you are going back.<br>
<br>
Click on another smaller circle, to enter a new position
(branch) and see new variants from that position.<br>
<br>
Note: A library is usually opened in <b>Display Mode</b> in which you can
only check existing moves. You can not update the library in Display Mode.<br>
<br>
<HR> <!---------------------------------------------------------------------->

<A NAME="Create a Library"></A>
<H3><FONT face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica>Create a Library</FONT></H3>
To create a new library, use the <b>New</b> [Ctrl+N]
command in the <A HREF="#File Menu">File Menu</A>.
To open an existing library, see
<A HREF="#Program Start">Program Start</A>.<br>
<br>
You will see a renju board with one move already made in H8, the center
position. Left-click the mouse to insert new moves until you have
made a final position.<br>
<br>
To enter alternative moves, press key B, or
right-click the mouse, to go back one move at the
time, until you reach the position where you want to
make an alternative move.<br>
<br>
You will see a small circle indicating an existing move
(variant) while you are going back.<br>
<br>
Click on an empty position to insert a new move,
which will be in a new branch in the tree-structure.
Enter all moves until you reach a new final position.<br>
<br>
To insert more alternative moves, repeat the
steps above, i.e. going back and clicking on empty
positions.<br>
<br>
When you have entered many alternative moves in the
same position, you will see several small circles,
one for each variant.<br>
<br>
Finally, save the library using the <b>Save</b> [Ctrl+S]
command in the <A HREF="#File Menu">File Menu</A>.<br>
<br>
You can also enter comments for a move in update mode.<br>
It is possible to write two kind of comments: a one line comment and
a multiple lines comment. You can also mark a move, so it is easy to find
the position again. It is possible to search for comments and marks, using
the <b>Find Comment</b> [Ctrl+F] and <b>Find Mark</b> [Alt+F] commands in
the <A HREF="#Edit Menu">Edit Menu</A>.<br>
<br>
If you want to add more moves to the library, after saving
and exiting RenLib: Open the library using the <b>Open</b> [Ctrl+O]
command, change to update mode using the <b>Update Mode</b> [Ctrl+M]
command in the <A HREF="#Edit Menu">Edit Menu</A>
and repeat the steps above to insert new moves.<br>
<br>
Note: A new library is usually opened in <b>Update Mode</b> in which you
can add, modify or delete information in the library.<br>
<br>
<HR> <!---------------------------------------------------------------------->
<br>
<A NAME="Display"></A>
<H3><FONT face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica>Display</FONT></H3>
The board is displayed on the left of the screen. The moves are displayed
from move no 1 until there are at least two variants, unless there is a
start position for the library.
Black and White circles indicates the positions saved in the library file.
Smaller circles indicates positions of variants. The last made move is
indicated with a small square.
If there is only one variant the mouse pointer is placed on that variant.
<br>
On the top line of the screen, the eventual comment for the current move is
displayed and multiple line comments are displayed to the right of the board.<br>
<br>
On the bottom status line, information is displayed about:<br>
- Board coordinate where the mouse is pointing at the moment.<br>
- Indication if the move is a start position or is marked.<br>
- Current move no.<br>
- Number of variants in the branch.<br>
- Display Mode or Update Mode.<br>
<br>
When the library is updated, it is indicated with <b>"*"</b> in the window
frame.<br>
<br>
<HR> <!---------------------------------------------------------------------->
<A NAME="Library"></A>
<H3><FONT face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica>Library</FONT></H3>
To view a library it must be opened using the <b>Open</b> command,
see <A HREF="#File Menu">File Menu</A>.<br>
<br>
A library is stored in a file with suffix <b>.lib</b>, for
example I7.lib, using the <b>Save</b> command.<br>
<br>
When you update a library and save it again, the previous version
of the library file is renamed to suffix <b>.bak</b> (backup) so that
in case you made a mistake you can go back to the previous version
by renaming the <b>.bak</b> file back to <b>.lib</b> again.<br>
<br>
<HR> <!---------------------------------------------------------------------->
<A NAME="Branch"></A>
<H3><FONT face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica>Branch</FONT></H3>
It is possible to extract a branch of a library, i.e.
a final position or a position with variant moves, and
save it in a separate file, using the <b>Save Position As...</b>
command, see <A HREF="#File Menu">File Menu</A>.<br>
<br>
This new file is also a library and can be opened with the <b>Open</b>
command.<br>
You can also merge another library into the current library using the
<b>Read...</b> or <b>Read All...</b> commands.<br>
<br>
Saving a branch can be useful, for example, when you want to show
a renju position in your library to another player.<br>
<br>
If you want to put together two libraries, one of the
libraries can be opened and the other one added into
the first one, using the <b>Read...</b> or <b>Read All...</b>
commands.<br>
<br>
The other library can be a branch or maybe only a final
position, for example an actual game. Since the first
library is going to be updated, the <b>Read...</b> and
<b>Read All...</b> commands are only available in Update Mode.<br>
<br>
Note that the <b>Read...</b> and <b>Read All...</b> commands
can be used repeatedly to merge several libraries together.<br>
<br>
<HR> <!---------------------------------------------------------------------->
<A NAME="Game"></A>
<H3><FONT face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica>Game</FONT></H3>
The text games are e-mails are or text info, which are
stored as text files, with suffix <b>.txt</b> which
can be read using the <b>Read...</b> and
<b>Read All...</b> commands in the
<A HREF="#File Menu">File Menu</A>.<br>
<br>
A game is in a way the same thing as a branch, and
because it is not a library, it can only be added into
an existing library.
<br>
A library must be opened and since reading a game will
update the library, the <b>Read...</b> and <b>Read All...</b>
commands are only available in Update Mode.<br>
<br>
Note that the <b>Read...</b> and <b>Read All...</b> commands
can be used repeatedly to add several games into the
library.<br>
<br>
The <b>Open...</b> command is a short cut command
that first creates a new library and then reads the game
into this new library.<br>
<br>
The <b>Read All...</b> command can be useful when you have
many e-mail games.<br>
<br>
<u>Example:</u>
You have received many e-mails from the PBeM-server with
renju games and have put all of them in one directory.
To make a big library containing all games, you can use
the <b>Read...</b> command repeatedly for each game,
but this takes too long time.
The <b>Read all...</b> command simplifies this by reading all
files in a directory and its subdirectories.<br>
