I have noticed that there are at least 3 versions of GNU Chess floating
around besides the "official" one on prep.ai.mit.edu.  I have the
following:

GnuChess 3.21 for MicroSoft Windows
GnuChess 3.1+ Patchlevel 3
GnuChess 3.0e for MS-DOS

If there is an archive site available, I would be glad to upload these
someplace, so that someone can work on trying to unify them into one
solid release.  I know that the MS-DOS version has some enhancements
in the format of the book file, as well as some specific MS-DOS speed
enhancements.  The Windows port I haven't really looked at much, and
the 3.1+ version has a couple extra features too.  Anyway, they are
in my account on gnu.ai.mit.edu in the archives directory if anyone
wants to look at them, and I am willing to upload them someplace too.
