      Where is gnuchess?

   Here's a transcript of how to get it.
   [... pseudo-transcript of someone using anonymous FTP to get
   prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gnuchess-3.1.tar.Z ...]

You forgot to say "binary" (or whatever your FTP client user interface
wants to hear) so that you don't scramble the file in transit through
a 7-bit hose.  Any tar(1) archive or any compress(1)ed file needs an
8-bit pipe.

You might also want to mention that for those without IP connectivity
to the Internet, the same distribution is available via anonymous UUCP
from osu-cis.  Write to uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu for instructions if
you need them.

   [1.132]puma) uncompress gnuchess-3.1.tar.Z
   and then you'd need to untar it something like this
   tar -xvf gnuchess-3.1.tar

Or you can save the disk space and say
	zcat gnuchess-3.1.tar.Z | tar xvf -
or if you have GNU Tar, you could say
	gtar -Z -x -v -f gnuchess-3.1.tar.Z
