I have a chess printing file, derived from (1) the Cookbook example
program `Making A User Defined Font' and (2) the bitmap chess
characters from the GNUchess xchess program. I constructed it in about
3 hours for the MIT student newspaper, The Tech; the style of print is
much like a normal newspaper chess column (all pieces rightsideup,
grey/white squares.) It is a header file; to draw a chessboard,
include something like
36 START
(RNBQKBNR)
(PPPPPPPP)
(        )
(        )
(        )
(        )
(pppppppp)
(rnbqkbnr)
showboard

to draw a starting chessboard. It is nearly 40K long, but the bitmaps
look fairly good from 1/4 inch to 1 inch in size. If you want it,
email me (if you can anonymous ftp, tell me that and I'll put it
somewhere); if I get more than 15 requests in a week, I'll post it.  I
don't read comp.lang.postscript often (thesis time!) so I will not see
posted requests.
