Hi, I've been looking quite a bit at memory requirements recently - I got a 3Mb version up and running, as opposed to the normal 9. (Incidentally, the references in doc/PORTING are well out of date, the first two should be ttblsz in ttable.h and DEFETABLE [or something like that] in gnuchess.h). It was only later that I noticed you could use the -C and -T options at run-time. :-( So, how about a default command line, say in /etc/gnuchessrc or maybe $(LIBDIR)/config, or something like that, anyway. This would allow configuration of a binary at run-time, or at least after installation, and has great advantages for binary distributions for varying hardware (say PC's running Linux, where some have more RAM than others). Surely this wouldn't take long to implement, should it? (Apologies if this has already been done - if so, I've missed it, though ...) Nikhil.
