Unfortunately, the graphical port of gnuchess "3.21" to Windows was
not done in a way that allowed the same sources to continue to compile
for Unix.  So 4.0 is based on 3.1, and there is no Windows version of
4.0.  It would be nice if this could be fixed somehow.  The Windows
version 3.21 is a nice piece of work.

I think it is possible to compile 4.0 for the PC and run it in
strictly text mode (similar to "gnuchess" or "gnuchessn" in the Unix
gnuchess 4.0 distribution), but I haven't tried this.  There is
certainly code there that purports to work on the PC.
