[Bug-gnubg] GNU Backgammon

[Mel Handelsman Jr]

Please Help

 I used to play backgammon maybe 25 years ago. I had Snowie then and it was my 
go to resource for analyzing positions. I am starting to play again, but no 
longer have Snowie. That is why I have been trying very hard to obtain a copy 
of GNU Backgammon.

I downloaded info that I thought would provide me with the GNU program. It 
supposedly contained the data that I needed to input in terminal mode on my 
iMac PC that would then let me run the install program and then I would have 
it. It required X Quartz already installed and a later version of my OS (I was 
running Sierra). So I replaced Sierra with Catalina and downloaded X Quartz. I  
then installed what I thought was GNU. My PC indicated at that point that it 
was there. I soon found that it was not there, that X Quartz was no longer 
applicable, and that I had not the slightest idea as to how to use Quartz in 
the process. 

I am totally lost and would greatly appreciate your helpa. I have no other 
resource and if I am to learn and improve my game I really need a quality 
program like GNU or Snowie to scenario test and provide accurate direction as 
to the best moves for each play.

I recognize the time that you might require to help me and I am willing to pay 
you for your time. I ask you to ignore my previous email which somehow was 
filled with gibberish.
