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

SEE ALSO
