Dear development team,

A game can have several alternative boards and/or pieces sets, as many of my games have.
Not always is it opbvious which piece set is active,
since some pieces might not differ from set to set.
Also an alternative board may have features which are currently covered by pieces.

Hence it would be nice to have soem information available which piece set is active at the moment.
The text for the piece set could be displayed
in the menu where the option to change the piece set is positioned, for example this way:

CHANGE PIECE SET (currently "Black vs Green")

In the game, the author would code in the game declaration the texts for the piece sets,
one text for each piece set:
(piece-sets "Black vs White" ... "Red vs Green")

Above all, I hope an upgrade of Zillions will sitll see the light of day...

Cheers, Karl
