Currently there is only one application: konane2canonical.
This program takes a game of Konane and puts it in canonical form, using the cgt library. All games are played on a 16x16 grid.
Input: There should be a file in the program's working directory (usually you're executing it from) called konane.txt.
An example of this file is included in with the source code. It should be 16 lines, each line with 16 characters, where

*than the first player to make a move wins - If the output is
0the second player to make a move wins - See Wikipedia - Combinatorial Game Theory, Game Abbreviations for more
