Really?

Any idea where I can take a look at that?  I like old chess programs.

I was under the impression that the xboard protocol was at least
partially derived from the interface used by John Stanback's public
domain 1987 program.  An expanded version later became GNU Chess 2.x

I have never seen a copy of GNU Chess 0.x or 1.x, so I don't know what
it looked like.  (As near as I can tell, copies no longer exist.  Even
Mr. Cracraft no longer has a copy.)
