There's a little buglet in the Makefile for gnuchess 4.0 PL73 . There are a bunch of lines, all but one commented out, of the form BOOKOPTS='-S ##### -P ##' The single-quotes in these lines are *wrong*, and should be removed, yielding lines like BOOKOPTS=-S ##### -P ## Without this fix, gnuchessr will silently give up on the -S and -P values, and simply build a book 3MB in size! Thus, to get a medium book, I uncommented the line BOOKOPTS=-S 20000 -P 12 and it worked great. So, if you're building PL73, you may want to fix this. If you've already built and installed PL73, and you're worried about disk space, you might want to check to see if you inadvertently installed a 3MB bookfile (as I did :-). Somebody might also check into getting gnuchessr to be a little pickier about its arguments. Bart Massey bart@cs.uoregon.edu
