It sounds like you have the man page for xboard 1.2, but are running a more recent version of xboard. xboard 1.2 is three years out of date, but for some unknown reason, there has been at least one commercial Linux distribution that came out with an xboard 1.2 man page and an xboard 3.x binary! I suggest you get the current version of xboard and its man page from ftp://ics.onenet.net/pub/chess/X/xboard-3.2.pl2.tar.gz. In the meantime, use "xboard -size medium" or "xboard -size small" to make the board smaller. --Tim
