Why should Mac users/chess fans get caught in the middle of your
crusade against interface infringements?!  I have really enjoyed 
Gnuchess on the Mac, but the Version 3 I have is definitely showing signs of
age -- tends to choke & die when it gets mated, won't recognize the 
human player's en-passant, and has a small opening book.  Isn't there
any interest out there about porting a newer version, *OR* at least
getting a larger opening book for the Mac?  (I do have a newer version
on my Sun, which does run much faster & has a great opening repetoire)

(Feel free to avoid porting such programs yourself, but I'm casting
my vote against this boycott :-)
