Or alternatively do what we do and split the gnuchess distribution into 3
packages:

/hpux9/Games/Board/gnuchess-4.0.73.tar.gz        240K
/hpux9/Games/Board/gnuchess_book-1.1.tar.gz      833K
/hpux9/Games/Board/gnuchess_test-1.1.tar.gz      240K

Unfortunately, you have to get both the gnuchess and gnuchess_book packages,
but the latter only gets updated infrequently, so you're only talking of a
240K transfer for the next release.

[Er, our gnuchess packages have been modified to compiled under HP-UX smoothly
and may need minor flag changes, but the original files are kept with ".cln"
extensions].
