World Championship Checkers Program

Post by Paul Galbraith »

Does anyone have a copy of WCC Platinum III that they can share? This used to be freely distributed by the author at www.worldchampionshipcheckers.com in three zip files (wcc.zip, ppl_1.zip and ppl_2.zip). Sadly, from what I understand the author passed away recently and the website is no more. Also, very unfortunately, archive.org does not have complete copies of the zip files. I'm hoping someone out there still does!

I have the files. I can put them on a file server for you if you still need them.

First you unzip wcc.zip, which among other things creates a directory named PPL. Then you unzip the files in PPL_1.zip and PPL_2.zip into the PPL directory. Sorry if that isn't very intuitive, I think I just put the zip files on Mega the way I received them.
