Hi - 

I'm building gnuchess for the first time from the pl61 tarfile on prep. I
have had the following difficulties with it-

- The install of all the bookfiles but the two smallest, I believe,
  reference a ../misc/gnuchess.book.mega, which doesn't exist in
  the distribution. Am I supposed to get this elsewhere?

- I simply removed the reference to that file and built the huge
  book without that file. It complained about a number of
  entries in the Fischer-Spassky file - has anyone else had
  this problem?

- Attempting to perform a 'make test' or 'make install' fails
  because the LANGFILE isn't yet installed, so the binary book
  can't be built. Easy enough to do the langfile installation
  manually, but it sort of defeats the purpose.

- I built using gcc 2.3.1 on A/UX 3.0 and ran the 'make test' with
  the script of testfiles in the test directory. Is gnuchess
  _supposed_ to obtain the right answers? It came up with
  different moves for most of the tests, and finally got stuck
  on one of the last few, consuming globs of CPU time, but not coming
  up with a move after more than an hour. The latter is clearly
  a problem, but I don't know if the opening book file being
  screwed up would have anything to do with it. 

In summary, I guess I'm just wondering if the distribution on prep
is kosher. There are a couple of uuencode leftovers and other things
in there, too. Is this the official dist site?

Thanks,
FB
