Hi,

I'm looking for a decent public domain chess program for MS-DOS
or (preferable) MS-Windows (3.11). I saw a pointer a few days ago
to a site and downloaded a couple of files (gnu40dos.exe and
chess321.exe). However I cannot run them. I get an out of memory
error even if I boot my system from a minimum boot floppy. Do I need
a DOS extender to run these programs, and if so where can I get
it from?

Thanks in advance

Dave Waterworth

PS Does anyone know if there's a version of EMTEX available yet
      which runs under MS-Windows? Please E-Mail.
