Thank you very much....Tim


I finally worked something out....sigh..

I found that I could change the size of Xboard.....the biggest I can get
with a clock is
middling....but that's big enough for me...:)

I think it's because I have myown kernel and have compiled for my special
graphics card and
use very high resolution.....I'll try some of the hints you gave
though...but as I said I can finally
get the infamous chess clocks with my gnuchess now....:)

I also downloaded something called Crafty...what do you think about that..??

Thanks again Daniel
