Has anyone gotten gnuchessc to work with chesstool as the man page
claims it can?

Here's what I know:

% /usr/games/chess
Chess
e2e4
1. e2e4
1. ... g8f6
exit
% gnuchessc
Chess
transposition table is 131072
e2e4
1. ... e2e41. ... e7e5
My move is: e7e5
exit
%

where the man page for chesstool(6) says:

     chesstool is a window-based front-end to the  chess(6)  pro-
     gram.      Used     without    options,    chesstool    uses
     /usr/games/chess; you can designate  any  alternate  program
     which  uses  the  same  command  syntax as chess(6) with the
     chess_program argument.

yet when I try /usr/games/chesstool gnuchessc, I can't move the pieces
and can't, in fact, do anything except kill chesstool. ;-{

    Gnuchess version 4.00 patchlevel 61

is the version I have.  Thanks for any help.  -Jerry
