Download links:

"GoGui is a graphical interface to programs that play the game of Go and use the Go Text Protocol (GTP)." (gnugo, for example)

The archive for download there is 16 mbytes big (includes the source).
In the directory lib of the archive are some .jar-files. gogui.jar is the program binary to start (Java binary, platform independent).
The folder doc\manual\html\ has the manual as html-files (start index.html).

You need to have Java installed on your machine ([ext] Sun-Java as example, vers.6.4=jan.'08; the download link for that installer is [ext] Sun-Java 6.4, all Systems)

Note for Ubuntu Linux users: Just running install.sh as the included instructions recommend won't work in Ubuntu. After uncompressing the files into a location of your choice and going there, issue this command: sudo bash ./install.sh -p /usr/local -j /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun to execute the installation script. If you are using a different Java version, adjust the command accordingly. For more information on how to use MoGo with GoGui on Ubuntu, see [ext] this thread.

-- Does Gogui work under windows 7 64 bits ? I tried to open gogui.java with java.exe, javaw.exe, whatever, no result... Thanks.

willemien you are trying to run the sourcecode try gogui.jar (in the lib folder) probably just double clicking does the trick otherwise use

 java gogui

If that also doesn't work. Do you have problems with other java? programs (like Cgoban3?

hmm... Cgoban3 works fine... oops... Somehow dumb me was trying to start the file in the bin folder, it was strange that it wouldn't start. Thank you very much for the very quick reply. I can already see that GoGUI will let me play variations of previous games (and answer the "what if ?" questions) which is wonderful. I could even modify the parameters of Fuego to make it stronger than with the basic parameters, which is very promising. I was getting close to par with Fuego (and annoyed I couldn't play variations of my games), but thanks to GoGUI I now have a patient and strong sensei for probably a whole year. Thank you very much! I also like the darker colour, just like my goban...
