     hints for this application (colorchess / ©®co_art):	   a few translations:
     ***************************************************	   *******************

 1)  there are neither winners nor loosers and even no		      kunst - art
     rules for 'co_art'-making; the only essential is                 werkverzeichnis - catalog
     giving the picture a real chance and taking part in           fortsetzen - continue
     a mutual esthetic creation. that is why we should             abgeschlossene - old coarts
     rather call it 'talking in colors' than 'colorchess'...       ergebnis zeigen - show result
                                                                   eing.zeile - commentary line
                                                                   logbuch - logfile
 2)  monitor resolution recommended: 1024 x 768                    stand am - status now at
     color depth : true color (16,7 million colors)                beendet am - finished at
     browser recommended:  netscape 4.7                            begonnen am - started at
     - earlier types (e.g. netscape 3.0 etc.)                      erst farbe - first color
       will function too, but untolerably slow...                  dann feld - then field
     - explorer-users will automatically get a                     neu wählen - choose new
       special choicemenu (without java-regulator)                 festlegen - do it
                                                                   schließen - close(window)
 3)  main reason for the alternate colorchoice (between            farbwahl - color choice
     manual input of digits and the colorslider) is as             farbe ändern - change color
     follows : with these tiny sliders it is impossible            wenn geladen - after loading
     to choose all numbers from 0 to 255 - that is also            probieren - try out
     why manual input of digits is often more precise.             zurück - back(to last frame)
                                                                   genauer - more precisely
                                                                   schieber - slider
 4)  changes already made :                                        weiter - go on
     **********************					      suchen - search
     a) participation made possible for explorer-users                malerei - paintings
     b) automatical restart (all fields white), when a                zeichnung - drawings
        co_art is finished                                            netzkunst - net.art
     c) from now on (co_art no.5) old logfiles will be saved          sonstiges - other topics
     d) all (even finished) co_arts can be maximized and be           farbschach - colorchess
        looked at in a new window                                     farbzeit - colortime
        (refreshed every 12 seconds)
     e) commentary fields (max. 60 characters)                     hope, this will do...enjoy!
        can be inserted into the actual logfile
        (old logfiles cannot be changed)
     f) this text here in english :-)
     g) 'exclusive' sessions (password protected)
     h) free choice of «titles» (only in excl. sessions)
     i) selective rectangle shape of fields (only in excl. sessions and "variations")
     k) multico_art (16x49 fields) with random generator (only in "variations")!
    
 5)  changes still to come : 
     ***********************
     l) several actual co_arts simultaneous
     m) selective number of fields

     - this could look like it does in the "special co_arts" ...

     - if there should be interest in exclusive sessions
       please e-mail me !
    

 6)  a real nice presentation of the running co_art 
     can be found under
     'http://purwin.de/pub/kunst/co_art/farbschach.cfm'
     (specially, when you take out all browser-borders!)
     you can start netscape.exe -sk , but don't forget
     to set this link as automatic starting-address before ...

 7)  all co_arts can also be printed by your browser !
