Err...  I ftp'd and compiled the versions of gnuchess and xboard
that I think are the latest.  (They were the versions mentioned in
the chess FAQ, but unfortunately I have since deleted all the source
to stop gripes from the sys admin.)

However, when I try to set the search time of gnuchess when using 
xboard with the -st option, it just ignores it.  As a average/poor
chess player, this is a bit much for me.  I would like to use
xboard to play chess, but...

Any help would be appreciated,

											Ron
