I'll use c_center.gif for centered cube. This should be fixed now.

Sorry, I do not subscribe to GoL so I cannot view the thread.

Can you be more specific: is it only a problem for export to GoL or is
it a general problem? Is it only a problem for export of positions or is
it a general problem?

BTW, how do you export the output from gnubg into GoL? By copy'n'paste
of the board section?

To let people know that gnubg produces well-formed and validating xhtml
1.0. That is, we follow the standards set-up by W3C. The output
generated by Snowie 3.0 does *not* validate, thus, some browsers may have
problems rendering html files proceduced by Snowie.
