Hi all,

After a couple of hours struggle with gnuchess, I was able to figure out the 
modifications for nondsp.c and gnuchess.c for it to work with chesstool.

Line 637 of gnuchess.c: set flag.beep to false.

When the 'machine white' button is pressed on chesstool, gnuchessr thinks hard
and comes up with g8f6!?!?!? (!?!?!? means WHAT THE HELL IS THIS 8-)

modify line 1251 and 1252 of nondsp.c as follows

else if (strcmp (s, "first") {
	ok = true;
	computer = white;
	opponent = black;
	}

Bandu

These are for the 3.1+ release that was posted somewhere a couple of days ago.
I apologise for not giving the diff files.  I didn't keep the shar files and am
too lazy to find them again. Don't rely on the line numbers too much. Look for
the pieces of code.

Please don't hold me responsible if these changes causes your computer to
crash, burn, explode, have a fit, or swear at you.
