Baby was started as a chess program called BabyChess.  It had its own graphical 
interface.  Then I wrote an engine for XBoard.  Later I wrote a fractal program 
that used parts of the source code of BabyChess, so the project was renamed to 
Baby and now contains BabyF\\ractal, BabyChess, and the BabyChess XBoard engine.

I plan to develop the graphical chess interface and the fractal program 
further.  The chess engine itself was not modified for a long time, and I 
don\'t know if I want to continue it.  It is very messy and the new one that I 
once wrote is no better.

I plan to add a client program for Internet Chess Server (ICS) such as 
<freechess.org>, and maybe a front end for other XBoard engines.

Currently Baby also includes the CGI program BabyCGI which I use for Baby\'s 
web site at <http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~kunegis/baby/>.

At the beginning Baby was running on versions of Windows but it is now based 
entirely on libraries which are typically used on GNU/Li\\nux systems such as 
XLib, LibPNG and others.

Baby is free software following the GNU definition, but it does not aim at 
being part of the GNU project.  Baby is written in C++ and has its own 
configuration and build programs.  However, it is designed to run and be 
developed on the GNU system.

Baby is published under the GNU General Public License.

The current web site of Baby is <http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~kunegis/baby/>.
