Apologies to the two or three people that I have already sent the DOS version
of GNU Chess to.  It turns out that my original version requires over 2MB of
extended memory to work.  I have now built a version that only requires
428KB or so of RAM to work.

When you receive the code you will find three .exe files.  One tries to do
high res graphics, one tries to do ansi graphics and the third is strictly
a text interface.  One of these should work on your system.

From now on I will send the 428KB version of chess unless someone asks me
to send the 2MB version explicitly.  I will state which version you are
receiving in the subject line.

If you received a version without the memory requirements stated in the
subject line then it is the 2MB version.  If you want a 428KB version please
send me another request.  

Sorry for the confusion.                                       Marc
