The following text is taken from the information +accompanying the distribution. Note that several of the files have +been renamed for insertion into the archive. In addition to the files +mentioned below, there is a \LaTeX\ style file, {\tt cheq.sty}, which +provides definitions for the various chess pieces. + +\medskip + +This is a posting of the Adobe chess font `Cheq'.
