This was originally mail sent to Mike McGann but it bounced. I'm
posting it here, because it may also be of general interest.
 
I'm confused!! Who is working on updating Gnuchess? About two weeks ago
there was an announcement about a new version of Gnuchess in gnu.chess
from Urban Koistinen (md85-epi@nada.kth.se). He asked for people to beta
test it. I have been doing this in my spare time. Now I see that you have
another version, which is quite different. Has the Gnuchess project split up?
What about the annoucement from Stuart Cracraft about 6 (?) months ago
regarding a new, improved Gnuchess. How does that fit in?

A follow-up to my previous letter. There are problems with it on DOS.
1. Gnuchesso won't link with Microsoft C5.1. It gives the following error:
LINK: error L2041 : stack plus data exceed 64K

2. Although Gnuchess and Gnuchessr link, they won't run. They give a run-time
error
run-time error R6009
- not enough space for environment

Any suggestions?


P.S. Is there any reason why gnuan and printpost were not included in
the makefile? (I haven't tried to run these yet.)

By the way, I havn't heard from Urban recently - are you still there?
