I think my news program do not like me to post anything.

I have a version of gnuchess from May 12, 1989 (last change).
        
I have found two minor bugs:
1. Pawns can only become queens
2. Gnuchess allows castling with a moved rook, (if moved back)

Both should be easy (take less than a day) to fix.
If anyone have done this, please tell.
If no one else have then I will. (soon)

I got gnuchess from nic.nyser.net in directory /pub/gnu.

Hope this helps!
