There is another consideration when using 3.1 with xboard. xboard uses the 4.0 type of setup for searchLevel, etc. In other words, if you set searchLevel to 1 in 4.0, it will do what you expect, but in 3.1 you will instead get a time-per-move of 1 second, since xboard puts a 1 on the gnuchess command line (this is the level in 4.0, but in 3.1 you have to use the "depth" command to set searchLevel). A way around this is to set put the search level (depth) in initString. For example, setting initString to new\nbeen\ndepth\n1\n will set depth to 1. You might want to pass 9999 as the "searchLevel" so gnuchess will have a time-per-move of 9999 (in 3.1). Joe Peterson joe@avs.com
