I have a SMG version of GNU Chess for VAX VMS, you can find it on anonymous
ftp servers ada.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr and banc.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr in
subdirectory VMS. The file is GNUCHESS.BCK (a VMS save-set backup).

A complete list of public files available on these servers can be found in
file AAAREADME.TXT on the anonymous ftp root.
