AboardDoc is extensive and multifunctional Windows program I've built (or better: I'm building) for presentation of chess problems. It is a collection of programs/modules developed for my private use as a chess problem composer and collector, as well as the editor of chess problem publications. Except for ActiveX module there is no documentation, but those who would like to see properly some of Word or OO Writer documents I prepared need to install (only) AboardDoc.exe and necessary chess fonts (all fonts that may possibly be needed can be found in subdirectory fonts in the downloadable ZIP file).

All diagrams in Mat Plus Review are prepared with AboardDoc, and all texts in the magazine are formatted for printing as Word documents with diagrams inserted as AboardDoc active documents. Therefore it would be desirable if the magazine co-editors and co-operators install the program and the GC*.TTF chess fonts from the package.

Some of the utilities in package are:
AboardDoc.exe
Active document with versatile functionality (create collections of chess problems using different layouts and font styles; import chess problems collection like MpLib or Fancy; import PGN file; create chess diagram for use in word processing programs; create JPEG or PNG images for use in Web pages; Glide show; etc.)
ABOARD!.DLL
ActiveX diagram (development abandoned, but program is usable!)
AllAboard.exe
Aboard!.dll test container (development abandoned!)
AboardMP.dll
