   I'm looking for a REALLY good backgammon program that I can run either
under UNIX or on an APPLE.
  I've heard of the program written by Hans Berliner et al. of Carnegie Mellon
which beat Luigi Villa 6 to 1, but except for the (extremely expensive) game
machine called Aristotle I've never seen it around. Does anyone know if it's
available anywhere ?
  Backgammon used to be very popular a few years back, but now there are so
few people left who are interested in it that I can't find anyone here
interested in playing during lunch hour. So I'm stuck playing with a computer,
but the level of play of the programs that I have access to is not very good.

   Anyone at BTL, Holmdel interested in playing backgammon during lunch ?
