The boardstyle setting

    Syntax:  set boardstyle n

    FIBS supports three different backgammon board formats:

    1,2: These are nearly identical, displaying the backgammon board using X's and O's. These styles are designed for command line interfaces.

    3: Affectionately known as the rawboard, this style doesn't display a human readable board (for most humans :-), but expresses a game position as a long series of numbers.

    Note: MacFIBS requires that you use boardstyle 3, and will automatically make sure this is the case.
