Hi,

I don't know if this is the proper newsgroup for this but here goes:

I have recently (June) downloaded the code for a SGI Indy installation
of the Free Software Foundation's FICS.1.6.2 Chess Program. It installs
just fine after compiling with the INDY compiler.

Unfortunately, it says it is saving games, but when you go to examine
them they are not there. I have looked at the directory structures and
since I'm kind of new to UNIX, I'm not sure if I have them set up
properly to write from a 'root' console app such as FICS.

Anyone with any knowledge of this, I would appreciate some questions
answered, or point me in the right direction (a book or documentation).

Thank you
Tom Klem
