Text for right mouse click on board posiitons:

"This is a wKinga8"
might still be readable for
avid chess players, but I suggest to
change this to a proper English sentence:
"This is a wKing on a8".

.....

In general I feel that the Zillions error message
texts could do with many improvements.
Firstly the general error message texts
start with some words that without blanks
(!)are followed by the code.
Please insert some blanks and further
make clear with special characters (maybe using ":") where the
quoted code starts.

Even worse I often get something like
$" %* ?"
as error message.

Now you tell me what this means.

Cheers, Karl

This bug will be fixed in the next version. In the mean time, a work-around is to give the piece a description, as it only affects descriptionless pieces.

These have both been fixed in the latest version of Zillions.
