On a Sparc OS4.1, with gnuchess-3.1, and compiling -DCHESSTOOL as instructed:

Sun's chesstool seems to balks at receiving a bell character.

Comment out the offending statement in the file nondsp.c (lines 455-456).

if (flag.beep)
 printz ("%c", 7)

Then invoke chesstool as follows:
chesstool gnuchess.chesstool

P.S.
	I don't know if there are other similar problems in the chesstool
	interface, or if this is the same problem found in gnuchess3.0 .
