hello out there!

yes, the subject is correct. last week I made a port of
gnuchess 4.0 pl62. Now gnuchess runs on our IBM mainframe
(in the company I work) and it plays really strong!

If you're in doubt - this year I also ported  PGP 2.2,
GZIP 1.2.4 and Popeye 3.1 (solving chess-problems like
mate in 3, selfmate and such things) to our mainframe.

I used the IBM C/370 compiler. There were only a few
things to do - that is only fit the #include's to the
C/370 library. I created a ASCII-version, using the
standard options GDX,CACHE,OLDTIME,... as given in the
makefile.

gnuchess runs under MVS-environment as a JES-batch program
in background, or as a TSO-application in foreground.
The batch-version has no restrictions on memory!  ;-)
C/370 provides memory-files - very useful for creating
the binbookfile:
gnuchess -b gnuchess.bk1 -B gnuchess.data -S 320000 -P 24
only took a few minutes!!!

Any comments welcome...

regards (from germany),
Harald
