Winboard and gnu chess came together in a package and winboard has the
same gui interface for both. You can save games you play against the
computer and view PGN games but so far I can only see the games played
out in movie fasion and then you can scroll back/forwards move by move.
The move is shown in algebraic notation at the top of the screen, but
what I'm after is to get a printout/text file, in algerbraic notation,
of the entire game, in the same way you would see one in a magazine.

OK, you have given me a few ideas to try here, thanks.
