Tim,

    Thanks for the advice man. Just one more question, are there any other files
besides 'gnuchess' that I need to install? For example, a man page, or a "book"?
Thanks again. BTW, are you the one that maintains GNU Chess or X/WinBoard? I
just downloaded winboard today (so I can play chess @ work ;) and it seems
great! I like how you packaged all the supported chess engines in with the
WinBoard. Thanks!

Best regards,

    Chris Davaz
