NAME

       makeweights - generate a GNU Backgammon binary weights file

SYNOPSIS

       makeweights [[-f] output [input]]

DESCRIPTION

       makeweights  generates  GNU  Backgammon binary weights file from a text input file.  By default, it reads
       input from standard input and writes output to standard  output,  but  input  and  output  files  may  be
       specified  on  the  command line.  It is only of interest if you want to regenerate the gnubg.wd database
       from a modified gnubg.weights file.

OPTIONS

       -f     This option may be given for compatibility with the options of other GNU Backgammon  programs  but
              is ignored.

EXAMPLES

       To generate gnubg.wd from gnubg.weights:

           makeweights gnubg.wd gnubg.weights
