It's a program for Palm and plays 19x19, 13x13 and 9x9.  It is a Monte
Carlo program, plays exactly the same as AnchorMan on CGOS.

All the palm playing GO programs are weak.  I haven't check it in a few
months, but Ogo plays 9x9 better than all the palm programs by a good
margin.   Unless a new one has been released recently,  Ogo is still
best.   I did not test at 19x19 but it's likely also true.

Ogo of course plays pretty weak and is slow on an old palm,  although it
plays on just about any Palm it is written specifically to be fast on
the ARM processor.   So there are 2 copies of most of the code, 1 of
them ARM code.   You are limited of course because handhelds run at
about 400 MHZ - my PC outruns it by a large margin.   

I want to update Ogo, but my stronger program requires a lot more
resources - it would not run in reasonable time on a Palm gadget.
