I could use a little help.  I loaded gnuchess-4.0.pl74 plus the
patches and xboard-3.2.pl2 onto my Sun SparcStation.  The build and
installation went fine; I only did "make gnuchessx", so of course a
number of files weren't present for the install, but what was there
seemed to be put properly into place.  I also have 

xboard*initString     : new\nbeep\nrandom\n

in my .Xresources.

It appears that something is a little funny, because it doesn't seem
to be randomizing the opening.  For example, e4 is always met by d5.
Any help here?  Is it possible that the opening book didn't get
installed, and it's just analyzing?  How would I check for that?  Any
other suggestions?  Disk space limitations make me reluctant to do a
"full" make and installation unless I know that is the problem.

Thanks for any help.
