This is a sample zippy.lines file for xboard/WinBoard 4.0.4 or later. Text before the first caret, like this text, is a comment. ^ Here is the first saying. Sayings are separated by caret characters, like the character that appears on the next line. ^ Here is the second saying. ^ Here is saying #3. Note you don't need newlines before the caret characters.^ Here is saying #4 -- note that it's okay for a saying to extend across more than one line. The line breaks are ignored. ^Saying #5: You don't need newlines after the caret characters either, but don't put two carets in a row. ^ Our sixth bit of wisdom is that you can use ASCII NUL characters (character code \000) instead of carets, but carets are easier to deal with in most text editors. In version 4.0.3 and earlier, carets did not work; only NULs were allowed. ^ The seventh thing you should remember is that any saying more than 250 characters long will not be used. Therefore, because this saying is more than 250 characters long, it will never be used. This is an extra sentence to make the saying more than 250 characters long so that the previous sentence will be true. ^ The eighth item to know is that when you are testing, you had better have several valid sayings in your file; for various reasons, having too few sayings can cause Zippy to get into an endless loop, or to be very slow. ^ As the ninth and final saying, let me add that you need a caret at the end of the file; any junk after the last caret is ignored. ^
