  Hello everybody,

I'm using Linux, the OS of a GNU generation :-) and I had to twiddle a
little bit to get xboard and gnuchess compiled for linux. I asked in
the linux news groups if somebody had interest in the binaries, which
was a perfect way to fill up my mailbox. Since I've made the binaries
available, I often get complaints about gnuchess swapping the system to
death. 

Gnuchess without any changes in the source takes 8MB when running. I want to
compile and upload binaries which take about 2 and about 4 MB. I thought about 
changing some definitions in gnuchess.h and would be very interested, 
if someone could explain me the effect of changing ttblsz and undefining 
huge in gnuchess.h. I would like to add some documentation how these changes
affect play. I plan to let xboard do some matches of different 
binaries against each other. 
Anybody out there, who can help me?

             ciao
                 Dietmar
