To anyone willing to tell me how to download gnuchess:

I am a member of ICC and have played chess there for about a year.  The 
other night for the first time someone mentioned gnuchess to me and 
suggested it was a good program to practice on.  I have tried through 
the Internet Chess Library and Tim Mann's web page to download both 
winboard and gnuchess without success.  I have windows95.  Early in the 
download, the computer says, "unable to open file for writing".  I don't 
know what this means but it does stop the downloading.  

Is there anyway to easily download and open gnuchess; do I need winboard 
to give me a chessboard?

I would appreciate any help and step-by-step instructions.  My email is 
"botimer@earthlink.net".

Thank you for your help.  I really appreciate it.

Chris Hall
