+# This simple script helps maintaining an updated database of chess games
+# for SCID, based on the famous The Week In Chess game collection made
+# available at
+#
+# http://www.theweekinchess.com/
+#
+# Games are distributed as zipped png files, which are uploaded weekly
+# on http://www.theweekinchess.com/zips/ (Should that URL change at some
+# point in the future, you will just need to update the ADDR variable
+# below)
+#
+# *SYNOPSIS*
+# ./twic_script.sh --help
+# ./twic_script.sh [<start_issue> [<end_issue> [<pgnfile>]]]
+#
+# When called with "--help" as first argument, the script outputs
+# a *minimal* help.
+#
+# Otherwise, if called with a start_issue (an integer, default to the
+# first issue to be downloaded, as specified into ${IDFILE}, or to
+# the first known online issue of TWIC, number 210, if ${IDFILE} does
+# not exist), it will start downloading the TWIC issues from start_issue
+# up to the latest (or up to end_issue, if provided). The zips are stored
+# into ${ZIPDIR} (default to "./zips"), while the png database is
+# maintained into ${PNGFILE} (default to ${DBDIR}/twic.png), or into the
+# file provided by the user as third argument.
+#
+# The new pgn files are concatenated at the end of ${PNGFILE}, and then the
+# SCID database is rebuilt (this can take a while...).
+#
+# The script maintains a record of the last downloaded issue, into the
+# file ${IDFILE} (default to ${ZIPDIR}/.last_id), so that it is sufficient
+# to call it regularly (e.g., as a user cron job) with no arguments in order
+# to have an updated DB of chess games.
+#
+# *DEPENDENCIES*
+#
+# twic_script.sh depends on:
+#
+# - wget (to download the zip files)
+# - unzip (well, what do you think we are using it for?)
+# - pgnscid (a program provided by scid to convert a pgn file into a SCID
+# .si4 game DB)
+#
+# **** IMPORTANT NOTE ****
+#
+# BEWARE!!! IF YOU REMOVE ${PNGFILE}, THE CORRESPONDING SCID DB FILE WILL
+# BE OVERWRITTEN BY THE FIRST RUN OF THIS SCRIPT!!!
