we had version 3.0 or something equally old installed 2 yrs ago.
i haven't followed the developments.
i thought i'd try to get ver 4.0 installed.
so i got gnuchess + xboard.

1. is xboard a replacement for xchess?
   (we are using xchess + gnuchessr right now)
   in one of the files, it says that xboard requires X11/R4,...
   what if i don't have those?
   i couldn't compile xboard. i've a dec3100 running ultrix v4.3
   (unfortunately, i don't know any of this stuff).

2. the gnuchess package seemed to have compiled without problems.
   since i don't have xboard i thought i'd try:

	> xchess -c -p gnuchessx

obviously it didn't work (broken pipe).

so what are my options? i'm i stuck with xchess + gnuchess 3.0 ?
( i think the owner of the dec3100 isn't planning to have X11/R4).
